TL;DR: It is reported that rapid prey evolution in response to oscillating predator density affects predator–prey (rotifer–algal) cycles in laboratory microcosms, and that attempts to understand population oscillations in nature cannot neglect potential effects from ongoing rapid evolution.

TL;DR: This work proposes that rapid evolution be defined as a genetic change occurring rapidly enough to have a measurable impact on simultaneous ecological change, and proposes a framework for decomposing rates of ecological change into components driven by simultaneous evolutionary change and by change in a non-evolutionary factor.

TL;DR: A model based on the dynamics of species turnover in microsites, and incorporates localized competition, non-uniform seed dispersal and aspects of spatiotemporal environmental heterogeneity allow stable coexistence of trophically equivalent species.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced the integral projection model, which eliminates the need for division into discrete classes, without requiring any additional biological assumptions and provides estimates of the asymptotic growth rate, stable size distribution, reproductive values, and sensitivities of the growth rate to changes in vital rates.

TL;DR: A general model encompassing these cases, numerical methods, and theoretical results, including stable population growth and sensitivity/elasticity analysis for density‐independent models, local stability analysis in density‐dependent models, and optimal/evolutionarily stable strategy life‐history analysis are presented.
