A population-coenotic concept of an econe, an elementary structural-functional group (SFG) in a coenopopulation, is proposed. An econe has binary properties, since in real time it simultaneously manifests itself as part of the coenopopulation and as part of the local community, i.e., acts as an elementary population-coenotic structure, the individuals of which are phenotypically homogeneous and simultaneously perform certain population and coenotic functions. The role of econes in micro-, meso-, and macroevolutionary processes is considered, and based on this the possible evolutionary-ecological integrative mechanisms of rapid micro- and macroevolutionary processes in the Anthropocene are estimated. The new concept of econes allows one to integrate the processes of micro-, meso-, and macroevolution based on the recently revealed mechanisms of transgenerational inheritance of stress-induced epigenetic changes that parameterize certain rearrangements of morphogenesis. Since all processes (micro-, meso- and macroevolution) of changes in econes in coenopopulations occur in real time, but with varying degrees of efficiency, it is theoretically possible to approach the prediction of the onset of regional biocoenotic crises by comparing the morphogenetic reactions of econes of sympatric species of communities to favorable and unfavorable development conditions, caused by a combination of climatogenic, anthropogenic, and biotic factors.
