Information use shapes range expansion dynamics into environmental gradients

The paper shows that using environmental information affects range expansion dynamics and spatial population distribution in microcosm experiments.

Environmental DNA reveals that rivers are conveyer belts of biodiversity information

The paper uses environmental DNA (eDNA) in river networks to assess biodiversity across terrestrial and aquatic biomes, showing it overcomes spatial biases and integrates biodiversity information over space.

Resource limitation reveals a twofold benefit of eusociality

This paper develops a mathematical model showing that eusociality provides two benefits: reducing starvation risk and increasing reproductive output, leading to higher resource use efficiency and carrying capacity.

Classical metapopulation dynamics and eco-evolutionary feedbacks in dendritic networks

The paper examines how network topology influences evolutionary dynamics and metapopulation patterns, finding that dendritic networks are more likely to exhibit classical metapopulation dynamics.

Informed movement and dispersal in experimental metacommunities

This study shows that dispersal in metacommunities is informed by inter-specific interactions, challenging the assumption that single-species rules apply to multi-species systems.

The downward spiral: eco-evolutionary feedback loops lead to the emergence of ‘elastic’ ranges

This study shows that Allee effects are necessary for species ranges to exhibit elastic behavior in habitat gradients with increasing patch isolation.
