AbstractEven when environments deteriorate gradually, ecosystems may shift abruptly from one state to another. Such catastrophic shifts are difficult predict and sometimes reverse (so-called hysteresis). While well studied in simplified contexts, we lack a general understanding of how spread realistically spatially structured landscapes. For different types landscape structures, including typical terrestrial modular riverine dendritic networks, here investigate landscape-scale stability...
Abstract Exploitative parasites are predicted to evolve in highly connected populations or expanding epidemics. However, many rely on host dispersal reach new populations, potentially causing conflict between local transmission and global spread. We performed experimental range expansions interconnected microcosms of the protozoan Paramecium caudatum , allowing natural hosts infected with bacterial parasite Holospora undulata . Parasites from front treatments facilitated were less virulent,...

Human activities put ecosystems under increasing pressure, often resulting in local extinctions. However, it is unclear how extinctions affect regional processes, such as the distribution of diversity space, especially if show spatial patterns, being clustered. Therefore, crucial to investigate and their consequences a spatially explicit framework. Using highly controlled microcosm experiments theoretical models, we ask here number autocorrelation interactively metacommunity dynamics. We...
ABSTRACT Eco-evolutionary processes may play an important role in the spatial spread of infectious disease. Current theory predicts more exploitative parasites to evolve highly connected populations or at front spreading epidemics. However, many rely on host dispersal reach new populations. This lead conflict between local transmission and global spread, possibly counteracting selection for higher virulence. Here, we used freshwater Paramecium caudatum its bacterial parasite Holospora...
Dispersal is a well recognized driver of ecological and evolutionary dynamics, simultaneously an evolving trait. evolution has traditionally been studied in single-species metapopulations so that it remains unclear how dispersal evolves spatially structured communities food webs. Since most natural systems are biodiverse structured, thus affected by its evolution, this knowledge gap should be bridged. Here we discuss whether established holds multispecies highlight generally valid...

While well studied in simplified contexts, we lack a general understanding of how spread realistic spatial contexts.

Abstract Human activities lead more and to the disturbance of plant animal communities with local extinctions as a consequence. While these negative effects are clearly visible at scale, it is less clear how such patch affect regional processes, metacommunity dynamics distribution diversity in space. Since may not be isolated events space but rather cluster together, crucial investigate their spatially explicit framework. Here, we use experimental microcosms numerical simulations understand...
Changing environments and habitat structure likely affect eco-evolutionary processes involved in the spatial spread of disease. Exploitative parasites are predicted to evolve highly connected populations or expanding epidemics. However, many rely on host dispersal reach new populations, potentially causing conflict between local transmission global spread. We performed experimental range expansions interconnected microcosms protozoan Paramecium caudatum, allowing natural hosts infected with...
