  　View Summary

  We addressed questions on interaction between different levels of the biological hierarchy in order to integrate micro and macro ecologies. We especially focused on the relationship between intra-specific dynamics, such as kin selection and sexual selection, and inter-specific dynamics, such as host-parasite dynamics and model-mimic dynamics, in the community through theoretical and empirical approaches. We empirically showed examples (though some are yet potential) of such adaptive dynamics in ants, clonal plants, butterflies, fish and other systems.
