Funded Activity Summary

Eco-evolutionary consequences of evolutionary shifts in body size. This project aims to understand the biological consequences of evolutionary shifts in body size at three levels of biological organisation: individuals, populations, and communities. Human-mediated body size declines in natural animal populations are a new emerging threat to the function of ecosystems, but few studies have explored the consequences of such declines. This project will use the tractability of the study species to discover how evolutionary shifts in body size alter biological processes. This project can expand understanding of the biological consequences of ongoing worldwide declines in body size in animals.
