TL;DR
This paper suggests that applying classical behavioral ecology theory can enhance understanding and prediction of eco-evolutionary dynamics, which involve complex feedbacks between ecological and evolutionary processes.
Contribution
It introduces the idea that behavioral ecology principles can elucidate mechanisms driving eco-evolutionary feedbacks, filling a gap in current understanding.
Findings
Behavioral traits influence eco-evolutionary feedbacks
Classical behavioral ecology theory can predict eco-evolutionary outcomes
Enhanced understanding of eco-evolutionary mechanisms
Abstract
The mechanisms underlying eco-evolutionary dynamics (the feedback between ecological and evolutionary processes) are often unknown. Here, we propose that classical theory from behavioral ecology can provide a greater understanding of the mechanisms underlying eco-evolutionary dynamics, and thus improve predictions about the outcomes of these dynamics.
