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…
Dispersal diversity buffers species vulnerability to local extinction
Davide Bernardi, Giorgio Nicoletti, Prajwal Padmanabha +5
Predicting species persistence within ecological communities is a fundamental challenge for both empirical and theoretical ecology. Existing methods span from mechanistic models, w…
Habitat heterogeneity and dispersal network structure as drivers of metacommunity dynamics
Davide Bernardi, Alice Doimo, Giorgio Nicoletti +5
Spatial structure and species interactions jointly shape the dynamics and biodiversity of ecological systems, yet most theoretical models either neglect spatial heterogeneity or sa…
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…
Spatially disordered environments stabilize competitive metacommunities
Prajwal Padmanabha, Giorgio Nicoletti, Davide Bernardi +4
Metapopulation models have been instrumental in demonstrating the ecological impact of landscape structure on the survival of a focal species in complex environments. However, exte…
