Evolution in a community context: on integrating ecological interactions and macroevolution
Despite a conceptual understanding that evolution and species interactions are inextricably
linked, it remains challenging to study ecological and evolutionary dynamics together over …

Genotypic variation in phenological plasticity: Reciprocal common gardens reveal adaptive responses to warmer springs but not to fall frost
Species faced with rapidly shifting environments must be able to move, adapt, or acclimate
in order to survive. One mechanism to meet this challenge is phenotypic plasticity: altering …

Complementarity in marine biodiversity manipulations: reconciling divergent evidence from field and mesocosm experiments
JJ Stachowicz, RJ Best… - Proceedings of the …, 2008 - National Acad Sciences
Mounting concern over the loss of marine biodiversity has increased the urgency of

Trophic cascades in seagrass meadows depend on mesograzer variation in feeding rates, predation susceptibility, and abundance
RJ Best, JJ Stachowicz - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2012 - int-res.com
Seagrasses provide important habitat for fishes and invertebrates but are declining around
the globe, often due to overgrowth by algae. One hypothesis for this overgrowth is that …

Exotic herbivores directly facilitate the exotic grasses they graze: mechanisms for an unexpected positive feedback between invaders
The ability of an exotic species to establish in a system may depend not only on the invasibility
of the native community, but also on its interactions with other exotic species. Though …
