Movement is central to understanding the ecology of animals. The most robustly definable segments of an individual’s lifetime track are its diel activity routines (DARs). This robustness is due to fixed start and end points set by a 24-h clock that depends on the individual’s quotidian sc...
environmental change, or evolutionary rescue, can be constrained by a less adaptable mutualistic partner. Here, the authors explore evolutionary rescue in an obligate mutualism between crossfeedingE. colistrains, finding that stress can lead to mutualism breakdown through the reversion to autonomy of ...
and buries nuts in the soil (which reduces rates of predation and helps to maintain nut viability). The large nutrient reserves of nuts not only attract animal dispersers
however, and several ecological trade-offs are associated with the benefit of a broad host range. For example, while single-host pathogens tend to evolve an intermediate level ofvirulencein their host,

Animal - Habitats, Ecology, Adaptations: Animals evolved in the seas but moved into fresh water and onto land in the Ordovician Period. Three early ecological roles of animals were as filter feeders, predators, and scavengers.

Some interactions between soil microorganisms benefit one or both of the participating populations, whereas other interactions have a negative impact on one of the participants. Clearly, soil contains an enormous diversity of microbial populations, yet we remain woefully ignorant of the forces that ...
