RESEARCH SUMMARY

Organisms modify their phenotypes flexibly in response to environmental changes. Such rapid adaptation to environments can prevent population decline and extinction. Our laboratory combines mathematical models, microcosm experiments, and meta-analyses to investigate the effects of rapid evolution and phenotypic plasticity on population and community dynamics as well as complex eco-evolutionary feedbacks. Our aim is revealing dynamics of biodiversity through exploring interactions and similarities between intraspecific genetic diversity and species diversity in biological communities.
