A multiscale theory based on metabolic scaling connects forest dynamics to tree-size distributions
Christian Grilletta, Tommaso Anfodillo, Gaia Pasqualotto +4
Scaling relations linking species size, abundance, and resource availability are among the most robust empirical regularities in ecology. However, a mechanistic explanation for how…

Will a time-varying complex system be stable?
Francesco Ferraro, Christian Grilletta, Amos Maritan +2
Randomly-assembled dynamical systems are theoretically predicted to be unstable upon crossing a critical threshold of complexity, as first shown by May. Yet, empirical complex syst…

Synchronization and chaos in complex ecological communities with delayed interactions
Francesco Ferraro, Christian Grilletta, Emanuele Pigani +3
Explaining the wide range of dynamics observed in ecological communities is challenging due to the large number of species involved, the complex network of interactions among them,…
