Farm Size Matters: A Spatially Explicit Ecological-Economic Framework for Biodiversity and Pest Management

Elia Moretti, Michel Loreau, Michael Benzaquen

The intensification of European agriculture, characterized by increasing farm sizes, landscape simplification and reliance on synthetic pesticides, remains a key driver of biodiver…

Using theory-driven Integrated Population Models to evaluate competitive outcomes in stage-structured systems

Matthieu Paquet, Frédéric Barraquand

Predicting competitive outcomes typically requires fitting dynamical models to data, from which interaction strengths and coexistence indicators such as invasion criteria can be pr…

Molecular approaches reveal weak sibship aggregation and a high dispersal propensity in a non-native fish parasite

Jérôme Prunier, Keoni Saint-Pé, Simon Blanchet +2

Inferring parameters related to the aggregation pattern of parasites and to their dispersal propensity is important for predicting their ecological consequences and evolutionary po…

Giant component in a configuration-model power-law graph with a variable number of links

Heung Kyung Kim, Mi Jin Lee, Matthieu Barbier +4

We generalize an algorithm used widely in the configuration model such that power-law degree sequences with the degree exponent and the number of links per node controllabl…

Can endogenous fluctuations persist in high-diversity ecosystems?

Felix Roy, Matthieu Barbier, Giulio Biroli +1

When can complex ecological interactions drive an entire ecosystem into a persistent non-equilibrium state, where species abundances keep fluctuating without going to extinction? W…

Urn model for products' shares in international trade

Matthieu Barbier, D. -S. Lee

International trade fluxes evolve as countries revise their portfolios of trade products towards economic development. Accordingly products' shares in international trade vary with…

The optimal timing of reintroducing captive populations into the wild

R. T. Melstrom, K. R. Salau, D. W. Shanafelt

We examine a conservation problem in which the recovery of an endangered species depends on a captive breeding and reintroduction program. The model is applied to the case of the b…

Wavelength selection beyond Turing

Yuval R. Zelnik, Omer Tzuk

Spatial patterns arising spontaneously due to internal processes are ubiquitous in nature, varying from regular patterns of dryland vegetation to complex structures of bacterial co…

Unifying Dynamical and Structural Stability of Equilibriums

Jean-François Arnoldi, Bart Haegeman

We exhibit a fundamental relationship between measures of dynamical and structural stability of equilibriums, arising from real dynamical systems. We show that dynamical stability,…

Conflict between dynamical and evolutionary stability in simple ecosystems

Jarad P. Mellard, Ford Ballantyne

Here, we address the essential question of whether, in the context of evolving populations, ecosystems attain properties that enable persistence of the ecosystem itself. We use a s…

Dynamical transitions in a pollination--herbivory interaction

Tomás A. Revilla, Francisco Encinas-Viso

Plant-pollinator associations are often seen as purely mutualistic, while in reality they can be more complex. Indeed they may also display a diverse array of antagonistic interact…

General relationships between consumer dispersal, resource dispersal and metacommunity diversity

Bart Haegeman, Michel Loreau

One of the central questions of metacommunity theory is how dispersal of organisms affects species diversity. Here we show that the diversity-dispersal relationship should not be s…

Predicting coexistence of plants subject to a tolerance-competition trade-off

Bart Haegeman, Tewfik Sari, Rampal S. Etienne

Ecological trade-offs between species are often invoked to explain species coexistence in ecological communities. However, few mathematical models have been proposed for which coex…

Robust estimation of microbial diversity in theory and in practice

Bart Haegeman, Jérôme Hamelin, John Moriarty +3

Quantifying diversity is of central importance for the study of structure, function and evolution of microbial communities. The estimation of microbial diversity has received renew…

Asymptotic spectral gap and Weyl law for Ruelle resonances of open partially expanding maps

Jean-François Arnoldi, Frédéric Faure, Tobias Weich

We consider a simple model of an open partially expanding map. Its trapped set K in phase space is a fractal set. We first show that there is a well defined discrete spectrum of Ru…
