Genetic and anatomical determinants of olfaction in dogs and wild canids

A. Mouton, D. Bird, G. Li, B. A. Craven, J. M. Levine, M. Morselli, M. Pellegrini, B. Van Valkenburgh, R. K. Wayne, W. J. Murphy

This study investigates the genetic and anatomical basis of olfaction in dogs and wild canids, finding no evidence of human-directed selection for enhanced olfaction in domestic dogs.

Can higher-order interactions resolve the species coexistence paradox?

T. L. Gibbs, G. Gellner, S. A. Levin, K. S. McCann, A. Hastings, J. M. Levine

This study investigates how higher-order species interactions can enable coexistence when pairwise interactions fail, finding that facilitative interactions are less stable than competitive ones.

Does deterministic coexistence theory matter in a finite world?

S. Schreiber, J. M. Levine, O. Godoy, N. Kraft, S. Hart

This study evaluates how well deterministic coexistence metrics predict species coexistence duration in finite, stochastic environments using experimental data.

Coexistence in diverse communities with higher-order interactions

T. Gibbs, S. A. Levin, J. M. Levine

The paper analytically and numerically examines how variability and strength of higher-order interactions affect species coexistence in diverse communities.

A quantitative synthesis of soil microbial effects on plant species coexistence

X. Yan, J. M. Levine, G. S. Kandlikar

This study quantifies microbially mediated stabilization, destabilization, and fitness differences in plant coexistence using a meta-analysis of 50 studies and 518 pairwise comparisons.

Competition for water and species coexistence in phenologically structured annual plant communities

J. I. Levine, J. M. Levine, T. Gibbs, S. W. Pacala

The paper develops a model showing phenological variation can maintain high diversity in water-limited plant communities by allowing later species to escape competition and early species to benefit from growth-rate advantages.

Quantifying microbially mediated fitness differences reveals the tendency for plant-soil feedbacks to drive species exclusion among California annual plants

G. Kandlikar, X. Yan, J. M. Levine, N. J. B. Kraft

The paper quantifies microbially mediated fitness differences among California annual plants and finds that plant-soil feedbacks often drive species exclusion when species are otherwise competitively equivalent.

Mechanisms underlying higher order interactions: from quantitative definitions to ecological processes

A. R. Kleinhesselink, N. J. B. Kraft, J. M. Levine

This paper defines higher order interactions (HOIs) in ecological systems and demonstrates their presence in simulated plant competition based on phenology differences.
