There are many conceptual parallels & opportunities around which the two fields can inform each other.

Excited to share our new paper in which we test how competition alters adaptation at a warming range edge @science.org
We find that competition can increase adaptation to warming when there is a shared evolutionary response to both biotic and abiotic drivers of selection:

What is the origin of South Africa's invading #mushrooms?
The 'fly agaric' is the famous red-and-white-spotted mushroom of fairy tales. But like all good stories, this fairy tale has a dark twist: the mushroom is invasive on multiple continents, including in Africa.
