Coevolution and the organization of biodiversity
Principal Investigators:
John N. ThompsonI propose to spend July 1997 through August 1998 at NCEAS analyzing three ecological problems on how the coevolutionary process contributes to the organization of biological diversity within and among communities. These problems are the spatial scale of coevolution, the temporal scale of coevolution, and different forms of multispecific coevolution. Activities will include construction and evaluation of a database of ecological studies that have evaluated rapid evolution of interspecific interactions, a workshop at NCEAS on the relationship... more
I propose to spend July 1997 through August 1998 at NCEAS analyzing three ecological problems on how the coevolutionary process contributes to the organization of biological diversity within and among communities. These problems are the spatial scale of coevolution, the temporal scale of coevolution, and different forms of multispecific coevolution. Activities will include construction and evaluation of a database of ecological studies that have evaluated rapid evolution of interspecific interactions, a workshop at NCEAS on the relationship between coevolution and the organization of biodiversity at different spatial and temporal scales, and an American Society of Naturalists' symposium on coevolutionary processes and ecological patterns.
