Consistent determination of stability regimes in natural ecological communities from abundance time series
Alberto Megías, Vicente J. Ontiveros, David Alonso +1
The stability of an ecological community is conventionally defined through species interactions, which quantify how species affect one another. Interaction strengths are notoriousl…
Coexistence coalitions in propagule disperser quasi-communities
Leonardo Aguirre, José A. Capitán, David Alonso
Many natural ecosystems harbor large numbers of coexisting species competing for far fewer distinct resources, in apparent defiance of the competitive exclusion principle. Various…
Out-of-equlibrium inference of feeding rates through population data from generic consumer-resource stochastic dynamics
Jose A. Capitan, David Alonso
Statistical models are often structurally unidentifiable, because different sets of parameters can lead to equal model outcomes. To be useful for prediction and parameter inference…
Effects of phylogeny on coexistence in model communities
Carlos A. Servan, Jose A. Capitan, Zachary R. Miller +1
Species' interactions are shaped by their traits. Thus, we expect traits -- in particular, trait (dis)similarity -- to play a central role in determining whether a particular set o…
Competitive dominance in plant communities: Modeling approaches and theoretical predictions
Jose A. Capitan, Sara Cuenda, David Alonso
Quantitative predictions about the processes that promote species coexistence are a subject of active research in ecology. In particular, competitive interactions are known to shap…
Stochastic competitive exclusion leads to a cascade of species extinctions
Jose A. Capitan, Sara Cuenda, David Alonso
Community ecology has traditionally relied on the competitive exclusion principle, a piece of common wisdom in conceptual frameworks developed to describe species assemblages. Key…
