Title: Ecological interactions, such as exploitation, can have significant evolutionary Post by: colleen on Feb 3, 2012 Ecological interactions, such as exploitation, can have significant evolutionary consequences, such as host-race formation. To understand this, it is critical that researchers be able to blend techniques from different disciplines, such as evolutionary biology and ecology. Are ecology and evolution truly distinct disciplines, or do they look at similar questions, but in different timescales?
Title: Re: Ecological interactions, such as exploitation, can have significant evolutionary Post by: sarah! on Feb 15, 2012 Ecological interactions, when occurring over long timescales, result in evolution. Therefore, ecology is a mechanism by which evolution occurs. The disciplines are distinct, but interrelated.
