Overview
Evolutionary biology and evolutionary ecology together study how living organisms change over generations and how those changes relate to the environments organisms inhabit. Evolutionary biology examines the mechanisms of descent with modification, including natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow, and the historical patterns of diversification that have produced the diversity of life. Evolutionary ecology focuses more specifically on how ecological interactions, such as competition, predation, and resource availability, drive adaptation, shape life-history traits, and influence how species interact and persist in changing environments. The two fields are closely intertwined, since the ecological context in which organisms live exerts the selective pressures that direct evolutionary change. Research in Journal of Evolutionary Science and the wider OpenAccessPub portfolio engages with the conceptual foundations and ongoing debates of evolutionary theory, including discussions that revisit and reinterpret the Darwinian framework. Such work reflects the field's continuing examination of how evolutionary processes are understood and modeled. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to evolutionary biology and evolutionary ecology, spanning the mechanisms, history, and ecological dynamics of adaptation and diversification.
