Evolutionary ecology lies at the intersection of ecology and evolutionary biology. It approaches the study of ecology in a way that explicitly considers the evolutionary histories of species and the interactions between them. Conversely, it can be seen as an approach to the study of evolution that incorporates an understanding of the interactions between the species under consideration. The main subfields of evolutionary ecology are life history evolution, sociobiology (the evolution of behavior), the evolution of interspecific relations (cooperation, predator-prey interactions, parasitism, mutualism) and the evolution of biodiversity and of communities.

Evolutionary Ecology
Diversité Biologique laboratory - The Evolution Diversité Biologique is a joint Research laboratory between CNRS and the Toulouse University Paul Sabatier. It deals with Ecological, Evolutionary and Biodiversity Research in various taxa as Mushrooms, Plants, Insects, Mammals and birds. Some English pages available.
Meta Description: [ Your description goes here. ]
Evolution - A peer-reviewed scientific journal that provides succinct summaries, opinion, and discussion of current research in all aspects of ecology and evolutionary biology, from molecular to global.
Centre for the Study of Evolution - University of Sussex - A distinguished research group founded by the eminent Prof John Maynard-Smith. The group runs both under and post graduate courses on evolution and an 'all welcome' weekly seminar series.
Evolutionary Ecology Research - A scientific journal which has some sample readings available. Articles are rather technical but provide a good insight into contemporary evolutionary research.
Human Evolutionary Ecology Group - Research group convened by Ruth Mace at University College London studying human behaviour and life history as adaptations to local environments. Summaries of research projects and details of graduate study opportunities.
Meta Description: [ * ]
International Journal of Organic Evolution - The objectives of the Society for the Study of Evolution, are the promotion of the study of organic evolution and the integration of the various fields of science concerned with evolution. This scientific journal has a good subject search facility
Juan Armando Sanchez project: branching nature - A fully referenced devotion to the study of branching in nature i.e. organisms containing branching networks (corals and octocorals), and the tools to study branching.
Nature's Holism - Online book attempting a synthesis of contemporary ecological theory with concepts derived from Taoism.
Meta Description: [ 0f Nature's Holism is about evolution within ecosystems, coevolution and a holistic ecology, showing how species coevolve. Coevolution through natural selection leads to interdependence (ecotaoism). ]
Origin of the Species - Despite being published before the discovery of DNA, Darwin's 1859 classic remains a robust describtion of evolution by natural selection.

The evolution of dispersal - Nicholas Friedenberg has demonstrated the evolution of dispersal experimentally using the soil nematode C. elegans.
Meta Description: [ Nick Friedenberg demonstrated the evolution of dispresal in experimental microcosms using C. elegans. Archidictus.org. ]
The Talk.Origins Archive: Exploring the Creation/Evolution/Intelligent Design Controversy - A useful indepth exploration of the creation/evolution controversy from a mainstream scientific perspective. Contains essays on the Earth's history and events relevant to evolutionary theory
Meta Description: [ Explores creation/evolution/intelligent design, gives the evidence for evolution, and tells what's wrong with intelligent design & other forms of creationism. ]
UCMP Evolution Wing - Excellent evolution resource provided by the University of California. Also contains an interesting account of Darwin's evolutionary antecendants.
