Eco-evo feedbacks

Resource limitation is a terribly important idea in ecology. It underlies density dependence, and is therefore a key concept in population dynamics. Without it, it is also difficult to understand how population fitness behaves during evolution. But it has also a lot of consequences for understanding the evolution of traits, when organisms try to gather and defend resources. For example, territoriality can have impacts on the evolution of ageing itself!
