= Eco-evolutionary dynamics =

A branch of study of Evolutionary ecology were the focus is the interplay between ecology and evolution. For example, a change in environment or ecological context can cause a change in the population mean of a trait and consequently the frequency of the underlying causal alleles. On the other hand, the rise of new mutations, can change ecological relationships, e.g. when a population of commensal insects in a plant becomes parasitic.
