Ecological Character Evolution is a theoretical framework within evolutionary biology that explains the divergence and adaptation of organismal traits as a result of species interactions with their biotic and abiotic environments, distinguished from other character evolution models by its emphasis on ecological selection pressures as primary drivers of phenotypic change.
