Ecological interactions are central to biodiversity organization, forming ecological networks of interacting species. From an evolutionary point of view, ecological interactions modulate the natural selection due to interacting species. One of the main challenges in evolutionary ecology is to understand how ecological networks affect the outcomes of evolutionary process. An important step…
Mutualisms are ecological interactions that affect and are affected by ecological and evolutionary processes operating at the interacting species. In ecological communities, many types of mutualisms involve dozens of species, forming networks of ecological interactions. In the last two decades, a set of empirical studies revealed fundamental features of the network structure of mutualisti…
Ecological interactions shape fundamental aspects of species evolutionary dynamics. From a theoretical point of view, the evolutionary consequences of ecological interactions have been extensively studied using two-species models. However, in nature, one given ecological interaction is not isolated from other interactions. In a single locality, a vast array of ecological interactions can …
One of the most central questions in evolutionary ecology is to understand how the evolution of species traits is affected by ecological interactions. Currently, a well-developed set of theories is available to describe how ecological interactions, such as mutualisms, mold and are molded by evolution and coevolution. These theories focus on the study of pairwise interactions. We already k…
Ecological interactions are among the main drivers of biodiversity. Organisms of all taxa are necessarily involved in different types of interactions which can potentially promote diversification and reciprocal changes in interacting species, i.e. coevolution. Understand which mechanisms underlie coevolutionary processes is essential to develop accurate predictions about biological system…

Coevolution is one of the main processes shaping living organisms' phenotypes and earth's biodiversity. In the past few years, our knowledge of how coevolution proceeds in mutualistic and antagonistic pairs of species has greatly improved from both an empirical and a theoretical perspective. Yet, theoretical predictions of the coevolutionary process remains challenge because (1) in ecolog…

Urban ecosystems can act as an environmental filter that only allows the establishment of species with specific life-history traits. These environmental filters can result in the homogenization of biological diversity. Understanding what traits set apart the animals able to colonize and establish in urban habitats from those who cannot is a crucial step towards understanding how organisms…
How the diversity of forms within species (polymorphism) is maintained in natural communities is one of the major questions in evolutionary biology. In these communities, mutualistic interactions is a strong selective pressure that drives the coevolution and may shape the amount of polymorphisms in populations of species. Polymorphisms are expected to be eroded by mutualistic coevolution,…
Species introductions are a major threat to biodiversity. Even if its impacts on the structure of mutualistic networks are increasingly known, its effects on coevolution between species are still poorly understood. Seed dispersal by animals is a key mutualism as it promotes the regeneration of plant communities, an important process to overcome the impacts of habitat loss and climate chan…
