Phylogenetic approaches to community ecology

企画者：矢原徹一（九大理生物）

All traits of all species in a biological community have been changed and shaped through the history of evolution. Furthermore, coexistence of those species has been established through the history of migration and differentiation. Thus, nothing in community ecology makes sense except in the light of evolutionary history.　　However, it is rather recent that evolutionary and phylogenetic approaches have been applied to community ecology.　The purpose of this symposium is to overview recent progress through cutting-edge studies in phylogenetic approaches to community ecology and to discuss perspectives for future development in this promising research field.
