Mutualistic coevolution and community diversity favour persistence in metacommunities under environmental changes

Leandro G. Cosmo et al.

Summary: Understanding the response of biodiversity to environmental changes requires linking local and regional ecological and evolutionary processes. In this study, we integrated evolution and mutualistic coevolution in a model of metacommunity dynamics and conducted numerical simulations to examine the effects of coevolution on species distribution and persistence. Our results demonstrate that coevolution and species richness synergistically shape distribution patterns by enhancing colonization and reducing extinction in metacommunities. Coevolution increases trait matching among mutualists at the landscape scale, counteracting local maladaptation and facilitating colonization and range expansions. Furthermore, coevolution buffers the effects of environmental changes, preventing species extinctions and metacommunity collapse. These findings elucidate the mechanisms by which coevolution promotes persistence under environmental changes, particularly in diverse systems with landscape connectivity.

The internal structure of metacommunities

Mathew A. Leibold et al.

Summary: Current analyses of metacommunity data often focus on global attributes, but a new conceptual framework is proposed to study the variation among species and sites, called the 'internal structure'. This approach provides useful information about how different species and sites contribute to metacommunity structure, suggesting a more general approach to understanding complexities and incorporating them into a cohesive metacommunity theory.

Climate change reshapes the eco-evolutionary dynamics of a Neotropical seed dispersal system

Lilian P. Sales et al.

Summary: This study forecasted the impact of climate change and frugivory interactions on the spatial distribution and seed size evolution of a Neotropical palm species, showing that future climate change and deforestation may reduce the palm's suitable distribution. However, majority of the remaining suitable distribution is inaccessible to the palm without active seed dispersal by frugivores, and changes in frugivore communities may lead to evolution towards smaller seeds for the plant.

Habitat generalist species constrain the diversity of mimicry rings in heterogeneous habitats

Irina Birskis-Barros et al.

Summary: The coexistence of different mimicry rings in a community is influenced by selection pressures from habitat and mimicry, with habitat generalist species possibly preventing the formation of multiple mimicry rings.

Pollinator interaction flexibility across scales affects patch colonization and occupancy

Marilia Palumbo Gaiarsa et al.

Summary: This study examines how interaction flexibility affects pollinators' colonization and persistence in a landscape undergoing global change. It suggests a link between interaction flexibility and ecosystem function maintenance. The findings show that pollinators with higher interaction flexibility are more likely to colonize new patches in a landscape.

Underestimating the Challenges of Avoiding a Ghastly Future

Corey J. A. Bradshaw et al.

Summary: The article highlights the urgent need for action on major environmental issues that are often overlooked. It emphasizes the significant threats to the biosphere and humanity from future environmental conditions, and questions the preparedness of political and economic systems to handle predicted disasters. Scientists are urged to speak candidly and accurately about the challenges of creating a sustainable future, as lack of awareness on the scale of the problems and solutions hinders society from achieving sustainability goals.
