DUPO - Diario de la Universidad Pablo de Olavide

Researchers Pim Edelaar at Pablo de Olavide University (Seville, Spain) and Daniel Bolnick at the University of Connecticut (USA) have developed a classification of the different ways that living beings can improve their success in relation to their environment. This theoretical framework is a conceptual tool that helps to understand and contemplate the total range of options that an organism has to relate to its environment, recognizing all the processes that may be relevant in the real world (such as in the fields of Biology, Medicine, Sociology and Economics). «Many times some processes are overlooked, but all are necessary to better understand what is happening or think of what could be done,» explains Pim Edelaar. The results have been published in Trends in Ecology and Evolution, the most important journal in the areas of Ecology and Evolution.
