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…

Fluctuations of entropy production of a run-and-tumble particle

Prajwal Padmanabha, Daniel Maria Busiello, Amos Maritan +1

Out-of-equilibrium systems continuously generate entropy, with its rate of production being a fingerprint of non-equilibrium conditions. In small-scale dissipative systems subject…

Generalization of Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem to Systems with Absorbing States

Prajwal Padmanabha, Sandro Azaele, Amos Maritan

Systems that evolve towards a state from which they cannot depart are common in nature. But the fluctuation-dissipation theorem, a fundamental result in statistical mechanics, is m…
