Ecology and what? What evolution? Micro-evo (a.k.a. built-in adaptation mechanisms)? Or the big bluff called macro-evo? :) Anyway, whatever. Who cares? Serious Science continues researching the mystery at the core of biology, making fascinating discoveries that shed more light on the elaborate cellular and molecular choreographies orchestrated within the biological systems. That's why some of us look forward with increasing anticipation to read future research papers that unveil more details of the wonderful functional specified complex information observed in biology.

We're used to it in academia - I'm a senior editor of a journal called Methods in Ecology and Evolution. We're MEE. Ecology & Evolution is E&E, and I guess the new journal will become known as NEE. Bob O'H
