Understanding how diversity is maintained in biological systems is a fundamental problem in biology. When addressing this problem, ecologists tend to focus on mechanisms that maintain species diversity, while typically ignoring the ecological and evolutionary consequences of diversity within species.

What is the meaning of life? … I’m afraid the answer is disappointingly simple: Mating. That’s it” written by the author Oliver Markus.

Group-living animals form social relationships that can influence their fitness in a variety of ways.

Tropical forests are globally important ecosystems that have absorbed a large portion of CO2 from fossil fuel emissions to date.

Substantial research demonstrates the importance of mate choice to speciation, yet we know little about the molecular mechanisms that underpin this crucial decision-making process.

In many biological processes the emergence of spatio-temporal patterns depends on the interaction between pairs of individuals, agents or subunits comprising the whole system.
