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…

A novel metric for species vulnerability and coexistence in spatially-extended ecosystems
Davide Bernardi, Giorgio Nicoletti, Prajwal Padmanabha +4
We develop a theoretical framework to understand the persistence and coexistence of competitive species in a spatially explicit metacommunity model with a heterogeneous dispersal k…

Finite size scaling of survival statistics in metapopulation models
Alice Doimo, Giorgio Nicoletti, Davide Bernardi +1
Spatial metapopulation models are fundamental to theoretical ecology, enabling to study how landscape structure influences global species dynamics. Traditional models, including re…
