Synthetic Eco-Evolutionary Dynamics in Simple Molecular Environment

This study uses a synthetic in vitro system to investigate eco-evolutionary dynamics, finding that initial selection is driven by resource binding strength, while later interactions lead to mutualism and parasitism.

Inferring macro-ecological patterns from local species’ occurrences

This paper introduces a framework to infer biodiversity patterns at large scales using presence-absence data, showing improved accuracy compared to existing methods.

The distance decay of similarity in tropical rainforests. A spatial point processes analytical formulation

The paper develops an analytical model to describe how species similarity decreases with distance in tropical rainforests using spatial point processes and tests it with empirical data.

Biodiversity of Tropical Forests

This paper introduces a framework to estimate biodiversity in tropical forests, showing that previous methods overestimate species counts and revealing hyper-rarity as a buffer against mass extinctions.
