Shifts from non-obligate generalists to obligate specialists in simulations of mutualistic network assembly

The paper simulates mutualistic network assembly showing non-obligate generalists facilitate early stages while obligate specialists dominate later stages.

Nested versus independent sampling: Solving the mystery of contradictory species-area relationships

The paper investigates contradictory species-area relationship (SAR) exponents by simulating ecological models and explains the discrepancy between nested and independent sampling.

The concerted emergence of well-known spatial and temporal ecological patterns in an evolutionary food web model in space

This paper presents a spatially extended evolutionary food web model that generates multiple ecological patterns in space and time through simulations.

Impact of herbivore preference on the benefit of plant trait variability

The paper investigates how herbivore leaf preference affects the benefit of plant trait variability, showing that preference can override the curvature of the herbivore response function.
