Reflections on reflections: Ecology and evolutionary biology
Journal of the History of Biology, 1986Having been asked to summarize and comment on the conference "Reflections on Ecology and Evolutionary Biology," I have found myself, like many biologists, in the position of knowing far less of the history of my field than I should, and of perceiving such history as I "know" through the filter of my own training and experience.

Toward a Synthesis of Developmental Biology with Evolutionary Theory and Ecology
Annual Review of Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015The evolutionary conservation of developmental mechanisms is a truism in biology, but few attempts have been made to integrate development with evolutionary theory and ecology. To work toward such a synthesis, we summarize studies in the nematode model Pristionchus pacificus, focusing on the development of the dauer, a stress-resistant, alternative ...

Introduction: Between ecology and evolutionary biology
Journal of the History of Biology, 1986Ecology emerged as a self-conscious discipline during the last decade of the nineteenth century, growing out of a heterogeneous mix of fields. Indeed, its roots are as different as field natural history and experimental physiology. 1 Given that ecology was (and remains) such a heterogeneous enterprise, it is unlikely that any single perspective will ...

Ecology and evolutionary biology must elevate BIPOC scholars
Ecology Letters, 2021Abstract Black, Indigenous and people of colour (BIPOC) individuals are disproportionately impacted by the negative consequences of our ongoing environmental and climate crises, yet their valuable scientific voices are shockingly underrepresented within the fields of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB).

Ecological and Evolutionary Principles of Marine Biology
2021This chapter focuses on the ecological and evolutionary principles of marine biology. It starts with the definition of ecology, which is the study of interactions between organisms and their environment and the effects of these interactions on the distribution and abundance of organisms.

Ecology and evolutionary biology of fishing bats
Mammal Review, 2018Abstract A few of the >1300 bat species recognised worldwide are known to consume fish to various extents. However, empirical information about how and how much different bat species capture and consume fish is limited and is probably distorted due to the biases introduced by occasional observations.

Music, Biology, and Math: An Evolutionary Play in the Ecological Theater
Proceedings of the 2021 ACM SIGSIM Conference on Principles of Advanced Discrete Simulation, 2021How did I get here? I will talk about how my father's serendipitous acceptance of a six-week teaching assistantship at the University of Colorado lead to lead to my growing up in Boulder, Colorado, and how early immersion in an environment full of music, biology, and math (in that order) inspired my early interest in trying to understand the workings ...

Sequencing breakthroughs for genomic ecology and evolutionary biology
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2008AbstractTechniques involving whole‐genome sequencing and whole‐population sequencing (metagenomics) are beginning to revolutionize the study of ecology and evolution. This revolution is furthest advanced in the Bacteria and Archaea, and more sequence data are required for genomic ecology to be fully applied to the majority of eukaryotes.

Perspectives on Ecological and Evolutionary Systems Biology
2009Understanding the emergent properties inherent to genome function requires an integrated approach of data from all levels of biology. Molecular biol- ogy data alone does not describe the complex interacting functions of organisms, while studies at the level of ecological communities and ecosystems have provided little insight into the molecular ...

Recruiting future talent in ecology and evolutionary biology
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2010Disseminating primary research is fundamental to ensuring continued advancement in ecology and evolutionary biology. Studies reported in this journal and others are eagerly distributed within experienced academic echelons or are perhaps lucky enough to make it into journal clubs, but all too often fail to move beyond seasoned academics to a wider ...
