Abstract
The effects of genetic variation in species can have large impacts
on direct and indirect species interactions, associated biodiversity
and ecosystem function. Biodiversity and ecosystem function can
change as a consequence of evolutionary dynamics (Barbour
et al., 2009), thus, linking evolution strongly with community
and ecosystem ecology. At the 2011 International Botanical
Congress in Melbourne, Australia, a symposium entitled,
‘Community and ecosystem genetics: the extended genetic effects
of plant species’, examined new research in the field of community
and ecosystem genetics. Talks focused on: links between
contemporary ecological interactions and historic evolutionary
dynamics; the role of feedbacks as mechanisms in driving patterns
of biodiversity and ecosystem function; and application of these
approaches to management and conservation issues as they relate
to global change. The symposium concluded that an understanding
of evolutionary divergence and adaptation, and the role of
ecological feedbacks in natural systems, will be fundamental to
successful outcomes in future conservation, restoration and management
decisions.
