Density dependent environments can select for extremes of body size

The paper develops size-structured models to explore how density dependence influences body size evolution, showing that gigantism or dwarfism depends on population maturity proportions and developmental trajectories.

Physiological responses to light explain competition and facilitation in a tree diversity experiment

This study shows that light availability from neighbors affects tree growth through physiological responses, leading to both competitive and facilitative interactions depending on species shade tolerance.
