“…Field studies and laboratory experiments have convincingly established that evolutionary changes can take place in ecosystems over relatively short ecological time scales [116,117,118,119,120,121,122]. Motivated by these observations and because of the availability of sufficiently fast computers, several "unified" models of evolutionary ecology have been developed over the last few years [129,130,131,132,134,135,136,137]. All of these models treat an ecosystem as a dynamically evolving network of species.…”
