Virtual Issue on the Ecology and Evolution of Plant Volatiles

JULY 2010
In the last decade, tantalizing glimpses of the invisible world of plant volatiles have been revealed through studies that have probed the functional ecology and evolutionary dynamics of chemical phenotypes. In this virtual special feature, the 6 original papers and introductory essay published in the special feature “Floral scent in a whole-plant context” are supplemented with 8 additional papers of topical relevance.

Virtual Issue on Adaptive Foraging and Food Webs

Edited by Andrew Beckerman & Owen Petchey
JANUARY 2010
Optimal foraging theory was originally developed as a tool to explore how to link animal and plant behaviour to the population dynamics and distribution of species, and the ecology of natural communities. This virtual issue of Functional Ecology highlights a selection of articles appearing in the journal that focus broadly on adaptive behaviour, trait responses to climate or other species and food webs.

Virtual Issue on Causes and Consequences of Adaptive Evolution

Edited by Scott Carroll
JUNE 2009
Biologists define and describe organisms by their traits, and through the ecological and evolutionary consequences of those traits. As we enter an era dominated by rapid evolution in response to anthropogenically caused environmental change, understanding the functional significance of traits – how, through facilitation and constraint, they determine performance in the adaptive landscape – is an imperative charge of evolutionary biology, and one that Functional Ecology actively serves.

Virtual Issue on Nutritional Ecology

Edited by Carol L. Boggs & David Raubenheimer
January 2009
Research on nutritional ecology is extensive, yet the area is under-recognized as a distinct field (Raubenheimer & Boggs, 2009). This virtual issue of Functional Ecology highlights a selection of the articles appearing in the journal over the past two years that focus on nutritional ecology.
