Habitat isolation diminishes potential of self-organised pattern formation to promote local diversity in metacommunities

This study shows that habitat isolation reduces the ability of self-organized pattern formation to increase local diversity in metacommunities by weakening eco-evo-spatial feedback loops.

Unlocking consumer coexistence: The role of self-organised spatial heterogeneity

This study shows that self-organised spatial heterogeneity in homogeneous habitats can maintain species coexistence through dispersal rate adjustments and plastic emigration responses.

Self-organized pattern formation increases functional diversity

The paper shows that self-organized spatial patterns in a food chain model increase local functional diversity by tenfold, enhancing community adaptive potential under environmental change.

Interaction of habitat isolation and seasonality: impact of fragmentation in dynamic landscapes on local and regional population variability in meta-food chains

The paper simulates a meta-food chain to study how habitat fragmentation and seasonality affect population variability and synchronization in dynamic landscapes.

Top predators govern multitrophic diversity effects in tritrophic food webs

The paper uses a Random Forest model to analyze 128,000 parameter combinations in tritrophic food webs, finding that top predator diversity and food web parameters significantly influence biomass and temporal variability across all trophic levels.

The biggest losers: Habitat isolation deconstructs complex food webs from top to bottom

This study models how habitat fragmentation affects food web diversity, finding that top predators decline faster due to energy limitations and dispersal challenges.

Functional diversity in a tritrophic system: Effects on biomass production, variability, and resilience of ecosystem functions

This study shows that trait variation in a tritrophic system enhances resource use efficiency, production, variability, and resilience of food webs.

The diversity of interaction types drives the functioning of ecological communities

The paper studies how diverse interaction types in ecological communities affect species diversity and functioning, finding that they increase the slope of the diversity-functioning relationship.
