On inference in ecology and evolutionary biology: the problem of multiple causes

Acta Biotheoretica, 1982
If one investigates a process that has several causes but assumes that it has only one cause, one risks ruling out important causal factors. Three mechanisms account for this mistake: either the significance of the single cause under test is masked by noise contributed by the unsuspected and uncontrolled factors, or the process appears only when two or

Reflections on reflections: Ecology and evolutionary biology

Journal of the History of Biology, 1986
Having 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, 2015
The 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, 1986
Ecology 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, 2021
Abstract 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

2021
This 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, 2018
Abstract 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.
