Cooperation, competition and the emergence of criticality in communities of adaptive systems
Jorge Hidalgo, Jacopo Grilli, Samir Suweis +2
The hypothesis that living systems can benefit from operating at the vicinity of critical points has gained momentum in recent years. Criticality may confer an optimal balance betw…
The geometry of coexistence in large ecosystems
Jacopo Grilli, Matteo Adorisio, Samir Suweis +4
The role of species interactions in controlling the interplay between the stability of an ecosystem and its biodiversity is still not well understood. The ability of ecological com…
Statistical Mechanics of Ecological Systems: Neutral Theory and Beyond
Sandro Azaele, Samir Suweis, Jacopo Grilli +3
The simplest theories often have much merit and many limitations, and in this vein, the value of Neutral Theory (NT) has been the subject of much debate over the past 15 years. NT…
Neutral dynamics with environmental noise: age-size statistics and species lifetimes
David Kessler, Samir Suweis, Marco Formentin +1
Neutral dynamics, where taxa are assumed to be demographically equivalent and their abundance is governed solely by the stochasticity of the underlying birth-death process, has pro…
