	Evolutionary Ecology
		Essentially human behavioral ecology is equivalent in theoretical perspective to evolutionary ecology (looking at differential selection of phenotypes by natural selection, using predictive modeling to understand behavior) but the former tends to focus on issues like parenting, sociality, and mating.
		This chapter is important for evolutionary ecology because it questions some of the models evolutionary ecology is based on, which could be especially critical in their application to archaeology.
		Winterhalder’s discussion is important for evolutionary ecology and historical ecology because it highlights the importance of history for explanation in archaeology, and the benefits of an evolutionary ecology approach.

	EURING 2007 - Evolutionary Ecology
		Despite common interest in estimation of such demographic parameters, evolutionary ecologists have often been more critical of these methods than wildlife biologists involved in other areas of research, mostly because the available models did not allow investigators to address what is at the heart of evolutionary ecology.
		Evolutionary ecology aims to explain biological diversity: studies in this area of research necessarily involve assessment of variation in traits among individuals, including fitness components.
		The extent of evolutionary responses in a quantitative trait is assumed to be proportional to the force of natural selection and heritability of a trait.

	The Evolutionary Ecology Of Science
		Although Popper's (1963) falsificationism was evolutionary at least in the negative sense of selection against, in retrospect, it seems almost inevitable that once Kuhn (1962) started his revolution making philosophers of science more historically and sociologically aware, that a full-blown Darwinian-style evolutionary approach to science would emerge.
		The three most important research programmes in evolutionary biology are population genetics (which deals with some of these formally), taxonomy which emphasizes history by building trees, and evolutionary ecology which emphasizes the forces of, and responses to, selection.
		Evolutionary ecology seeks a theoretical halfway house between the near-universal tautology of the fitness-selection nexus and the near-complete historical specificity of the myriad details of what is adaptive in locally prevailing circumstances.

	Evolutionary ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Evolutionary ecology lies at the intersection of ecology and evolutionary biology.
		It approaches the study of ecology in a way that explicitly considers the evolutionary histories of species and the interactions between them.
		The main subfields of evolutionary ecology are life history evolution, sociobiology (the evolution of behavior), the evolution of interspecific relations (cooperation, predator-prey interactions, parasitism, mutualism) and the evolution of biodiversity and of communities.

	The evolutionary ecology of dispersalUlf Dieckmann a dieckman
		From an evolutionary perspective, dispersal determines the level of gene flow between populations and affects processes such as local adaptation, speciation and the evolution of life-history traits.
		The various consequences of dispersal are extensively discussed in the ecological and evolutionary literature (the Science Citation Index gave more than 1000 occurrences of 'dispersal' in the abstract or title of papers for the year 1997 alone).
		In a given ecological setting, the evolutionary stable rate of dispersal need not be identical to the rate that would optimize population persistence (Isabelle Olivieri, University of Montpellier).

		Ecology is the study of plants and animals at home, that is to say, in their natural environment (from the Greek word oikos, a house).
		Darwin (1859) proposed natural selection as a unifying principle to explain two things: the transmutation of species and the adaptation of organisms to their environment.
		Evolutionary ecology takes the second of these as its field of study.
