Traits determining ecological interactions and dynamics are generally subject to natural selection. That genetically based individual variation in ecological traits can influence population dynamics has interested population biologist from various perspectives. Population ecologists recognized the need to incorporate individual variation in models of population regulation, while evolutionary biologists wish to understand genetic and evolutionary dynamics, e.g. of life history traits, in density-regulated populations. But how does adaptation in ecological traits affect population dynamics? In this project we investigated how ecological dynamics changes as a consequence of adaptive evolution in ecological traits using an individual-based predator-prey model
