Modeling and Inferring Metacommunity Dynamics with Maximum Caliber
Zachary Jackson, Mathew A. Leibold, Robert D. Holt +1
A major challenge for community ecology is using spatio-temporal data to infer parameters of dynamical models without conducting laborious experiments. We present a novel framework…

Dynamic trait distribution as a source for shifts in interaction strength and population density
Zachary Jackson, BingKan Xue
Intraspecific trait variation has been increasingly recognized as an important factor in determining species interaction and diversity. Eco-evolutionary models have studied the dis…

Heterogeneity of Interaction Strengths and Its Consequences on Ecological Systems
Zachary Jackson, BingKan Xue
Ecosystems are formed by networks of species and their interactions. Traditional models of such interactions assume a constant interaction strength between a given pair of species.…
