Fluctuating growth rate and spatial diffusion shape plankton diversity
Giorgio Vittorio Visco, Kobe Simoens, Emanuele Pigani +4
Planktonic communities exhibit ubiquitous population distributions and patchy spatial structures, yet the fundamental mechanisms driving them remain debated. Here, we derive these…
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…
Ecological networks of viable species with degree-dependent interaction
Hae Seong Lee, Deok-Sun Lee, Sang Hoon Lee +2
The generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) framework, recently advanced by dynamical mean-field theory, enables the systematic analysis of large ecological networks. When combined with s…
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…
Unraveling the temporal dependence of ecological interaction measures
Javier Aguilar, Samir Suweis, Amos Maritan +1
Identifying the network of species interactions is a fundamental step toward understanding ecosystem stability and biodiversity. However, the interpretability of empirical interact…
