The interplay of trophic interactions and game dynamics gives rise to life-history trade-offs, consistent personalities, and predator–prey and aggression power laws by Mohammad Salahshour

“…Here, we introduce an eco-evolutionary model of trophic interactions between predators and prey and show that the flow of resources in the ecosystem results in the scale-invariant spatial and temporal structure of ecosystems. In contrast to conventional approaches that rely on fitness-based selection, evolution in our eco-evolutionary framework is a direct consequence of ecological interactions. …”
