The aim is to examine the role of non-ergodicity in biological systems and its implications for ecological and evolutionary outcomes.
Analyzed case studies to illustrate the impact of demographic and environmental stochasticity.
Defined a mutant establishment threshold to quantify critical population sizes for growth.
Investigated eco-evolutionary feedback in various population structures.
Demographic stochasticity breaks ergodicity, affecting growth rates based on initial conditions.
Environmental influences lead to non-ergodic dynamics that complicate fitness averages.
Metapopulation structures reveal that subpopulation dynamics can significantly differ from overall population trends, supporting cooperation despite fitness costs.
