Born to run? Quantifying the balance of prior bias and new information in prey escape decisions

The paper develops a Bayesian framework to model prey escape decisions, showing that prior biases and new information both influence behavior, with additional information necessary for accurate predictions.

Stability Criteria for Complex Microbial Communities

The paper examines stability in microbial communities by analyzing resource consumption and production, showing that crossfeeding can destabilize communities but stability is maintained under symmetric or weak mutualism.

Whence Lotka-Volterra? Conservation Laws and Integrable Systems in Ecology.

The paper explores when consumer dynamics can exactly describe consumer-resource systems, identifying integrability through conservation laws and resource uniqueness.
