Rapid evolution drives ecological dynamics in a predator-prey systemTakehito Yoshida
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
Nature 424:303-6. 2003..These results confirm that prey evolution can substantially alter predator-prey dynamics, and therefore that attempts to understand population oscillations in nature cannot neglect potential effects from ongoing rapid evolution...
Evolutionary trade-off between defence against grazing and competitive ability in a simple unicellular alga, Chlorella vulgarisTakehito Yoshida
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
Proc Biol Sci 271:1947-53. 2004..This genetic variation underlies rapid algal evolution that significantly alters the ecological predator-prey cycles between rotifers and algae...
Ecology: mechanisms for consumer diversityTakehito Yoshida
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York 14853 2701, USA
Nature 439:E1-2; discussion E2. 2006..Here we confirm this possibility by using a simple mathematical model and suggest that more than one mechanism may account for the maintenance of genetic diversity observed by Nelson et al. in their system...
Rapid contemporary evolution and clonal food web dynamicsLaura E Jones
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 2701, USA
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci 364:1579-91. 2009....
Cryptic population dynamics: rapid evolution masks trophic interactionsTakehito Yoshida
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, United States of America
PLoS Biol 5:e235. 2007..Modeling suggests that rapid evolution may also confound experimental approaches to measuring interaction strength, but it identifies certain experimental designs as being more robust against potential confounding by rapid evolution...
Prey evolution on the time scale of predator-prey dynamics revealed by allele-specific quantitative PCRJustin R Meyer
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853, USA
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 103:10690-5. 2006..We used AsQ-PCR to confirm this prediction: the superior competitor dominated initially, but as rotifer densities increased, the more predator-resistant clone predominated...
Threshold elemental ratios of carbon and phosphorus in aquatic consumersPaul C Frost
Ecol Lett 9:774-9. 2006..By coupling bioenergetics and stoichiometry, this analysis revealed strong linkages among the physiology, ecology and evolution of nutritional demands for animal growth...
