Fluctuating Environments Favor Extreme Reproductive Delays and Penalize Intermediate Ones

Jorge Hidalgo, Lorenzo Fant, Rafael Rubio de Casas +1

The timing of reproduction is crucial for biological fitness. Reproductive delays carry an inherent demographic cost: an individual that takes longer to reproduce contributes later…

How neutral and niche forces contribute to speciation processes?

Niccolo Anceschi, Jorge Hidalgo, Tommaso Bellini +2

The evolutionary and ecological processes behind the origin of species are among the most fundamental problems in biology. In fact, many theoretical hypothesis on different type of…

Eco-evolutionary Model of Rapid Phenotypic Diversification in Species-Rich Communities

Paula Villa Martín, Jorge Hidalgo, Rafael Rubio de Casas +1

Evolutionary and ecosystem dynamics are often treated as different processes --operating at separate timescales-- even if evidence reveals that rapid evolutionary changes can feed…

Impact of environmental colored noise in single-species population dynamics

Tommaso Spanio, Jorge Hidalgo, Miguel A. Muñoz

Variability on external conditions has important consequences for the dynamics and the organization of biological systems. In many cases, the characteristic timescale of environmen…

Species coexistence in a neutral dynamics with environmental noise

Jorge Hidalgo, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan

Environmental fluctuations have important consequences in the organization of ecological communities, and understanding how such a variability influences the biodiversity of an eco…

Environmental unpredictability and inbreeding depression select for mixed dispersal syndromes

Jorge Hidalgo, Rafael Rubio de Casas, Miguel A. Munoz

Mixed dispersal syndromes have historically been regarded as bet-hedging mechanisms that enhance survival in unpredictable environments, ensuring that some propagules stay in the m…

Cooperation, competition and the emergence of criticality in communities of adaptive systems

Jorge Hidalgo, Jacopo Grilli, Samir Suweis +2

The hypothesis that living systems can benefit from operating at the vicinity of critical points has gained momentum in recent years. Criticality may confer an optimal balance betw…

Stochasticity enhances the gaining of bet-hedging strategies in contact-process-like dynamics

Jorge Hidalgo, Simone Pigolotti, Miguel A. Munoz

In biology and ecology, individuals or communities of individuals living in unpredictable environments often alternate between different evolutionary strategies to spread and reduc…
