Change is an integral property of ecological systems. Populations wax and wane and become extinct, communities exhibit complicated dynamics such as predator-prey cycles. Ecologists have studied these changes as ecological phenomena and have used ecological approaches and methodologies, but populations are also subject to evolutionary change. My research program investigates how ecological and evolutionary processes occur at the same time scale and under which circumstances they can be co-responsible for the dynamical changes of ecosystems.

变化是生态系统的一个固有属性。种群消长和灭绝，群落表现出复杂的动态，如捕食者-猎物循环。生态学家已经将这些变化作为生态现象进行了研究，并使用了生态学的方法和手段，但种群也受到进化的影响。我的研究计划调查如何生态和进化过程发生在同一时间尺度，在何种情况下，他们可以共同负责生态系统的动态变化。
