“…The importance of eco-evolutionary feedbacks in biological responses to changing environments caused by, for example, interactions with antagonists (e.g. [2]), or by human disturbance, such as agriculture [3] and climate change (e.g. [4]) led to the development of eco-evolutionary partitioning metrics.…”

One contribution of 18 to a theme issue 'Human influences on evolution, and the ecological and societal consequences'. Urbanization causes both changes in community composition and evolutionary responses, but most studies focus on these responses in isolation. We performed an integrated analysis assessing the relative contribution of intra-and interspecific trait turnover to the observed change in zooplankton community body size in 83 cladoceran communities along urbanization gradients quantified at seven spatial scales (50-3200 m radii). We also performed a quantitative genetic analysis on 12 Daphnia magna populations along the same urbanization gradient. Body size in zooplankton communities generally declined with increasing urbanization, but the opposite was observed for communities dominated by large species. The contribution of intraspecific trait variation to community body size turnover with urbanization strongly varied with the spatial scale considered, and was highest for communities dominated by large cladoceran species and at intermediate spatial scales. Genotypic size at maturity was smaller for urban than for rural D. magna populations and for animals cultured at 248C compared with 208C. While local genetic adaptation likely contributed to the persistence of D. magna in the urban heat islands, buffering for the phenotypic shift to larger body sizes with increasing urbanization, community body size turnover was mainly driven by non-genetic intraspecific trait change.This article is part of the themed issue 'Human influences on evolution, and the ecological and societal consequences'.

“…In this latter situation, the various ecosystem services are coupled through the multispecies interactions that exist within the network. As a result, trade-offs may emerge between the different ecosystem services, that have to be managed simultaneously (Loeuille et al, 2013). Such optimal management of multiple ecosystem services can significantly improve the utility provided to human beings, especially if the species involved strongly interact (White et al, 2012).…”

“…Metapopulation (Hanski, 1991) and metacommunity (Leibold et al, 2004) models incorporate such aspects, and offer good opportunities to determine suitable strategies for a sustainable management of ecosystem services accounting for both conservation and economic issues. The role of non-exploited patches is highlighted when it comes to agricultural landscapes (Burel and Baudry, 2005) because the spatial variations in habitat quality may increase extinction risks for many species (Hanski, 1991) but also provide adjacent ecosystems with services due to population spillovers (Tylianakis et al, 2007;Loeuille et al, 2013). Dispersal, combined with environmental autocorrelation, define the environmental "grain" under which the species demography, evolution and management should be considered (MacArthur and Levins, 1967).…”

“…An eco-evolutionary perspective to agriculture acknowledges the impact that anthropogenic factors, such as climate change, land-use change, global mixing of species, and agricultural disturbances have in influencing interactions between crops and associated biodiversity [28]. Among the benefits that an eco-evolutionary perspective can provide to agroecosystem design and management are insights necessary to (1) use rapid evolution to help adapt crops to their environment; (2) facilitate the establishment of communities of beneficial organisms that regulate pest populations; and (3) reduce selection for pest genotypes that are resistant to control practices.…”

The Eco-Evolutionary Imperative: Revisiting Weed Management in the Midst of an Herbicide Resistance Crisis

et al. 2016

Abstract:Modern weed science is at a crossroads. Born out of advances in chemistry, it has focused on minimizing weed competition with genetically uniform crops and heavy reliance on herbicides. Paradoxically, the success obtained with such an approach and the reluctance to conduct integrated and multidisciplinary research has resulted in unintended, but predictable, consequences, including the selection of herbicide resistant biotypes. Advances in eco-evolutionary biology, a relatively recent discipline that seeks to understand how local population dynamics arise from phenotypic variation resulting from natural selection, habitat distribution, and propagule dispersal across the landscape are transforming our understanding of the processes that regulate agroecosystems. Within this framework, complementary tactics to develop alternative weed management programs include the following: (1) weed scientists must recognize that evolution occurs within crop fields at ecologically-relevant time scales and is rooted in the inherent variation that exists in all populations; (2) weed management should recognize that the probability of a resistant mutant is directly related to the population size; (3) farmers need to acknowledge that herbicide resistance transcends any one farm and should coordinate local practices with regional actions; (4) incentives should be developed and implemented to help the adoption of eco-evolutionary management programs; and (5) risk analysis can help incorporate an eco-evolutionary perspective into integrated weed management programs.
