Community ecology has developed a rich and increasingly diverse body of theory, but its rapid expansion has outpaced efforts to compare and synthesize competing frameworks. As a result, semantic ambig...

The Center for Open Science has announced that from November 16, 2026, no new projects can be created on the Open Science Framework. After F...

Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide...

Current Employees: If you are currently employed at any of the Universities of Wisconsin, log in to Workday to apply through the internal application process. Position Title: Biology: Assistant Profes...

Communications Biology - Lack of variation in thermoregulatory capacity or thermal tolerance in butterflies across an elevational gradient suggests limited adaptive capacity. Poorer...

Community disassembly examines how extinctions reshape ecological communities. Here, we introduce the community disassembly graph, which uses invasion growth rates (IGRs) to identify extinction-drive....

Hybridization amongst teleost fish species is an ongoing phenomenon with unclear implications Chrosomus eos, the Northern Redbelly Dace, is a species with an especially complex and fascinating history...

Experimental co-introduction of duckweeds (Lemna japonica) and their microbiome in a common pond.

We combined two major theories in ecology to investigate whether warming may have general effects on competition for shared resources. We found that species' niche and fitness differences both decrea...

New research led by one of our postdoctoral fellows, Dr. Kaleigh Davis, takes a step toward a more predictive understanding of network interactions in the face of climate warming by combining Modern C...

Abstract. Existing theory examining the coevolutionary dynamics of species’ range borders assumes random dispersal, which causes maladaptive gene flow from

Many biotic interactions occur via chemical compounds released in the environment. Here the authors review the field of chemical ecology and discuss the importance of investigating landscape-scale che...

The Sheth evolutionary ecology lab in the Department of Plant and Microbial Biology at North Carolina State University (Raleigh, North Carolina; USA) and the Angert Lab in the Departments of Botany an...

Most predictions of whether populations will adapt to warming range edges ignore species interactions. We experimentally tested whether range-edge populations can adapt to warming within a competitive...

Impact assessments prevent harm before it occurs. Circumventing the process before we understand the risks is misguided and a gamble with our collective future.
