Redundancy-selection trade-off in phenotype-structured populations

The paper examines how redundancy-selection trade-offs affect phenotype-structured populations, showing that neutral contributions to fitness cannot be captured by effective formulations and depend on landscape geometry.

Spatial patterns emerging from a stochastic process near criticality

The paper introduces a stochastic model of community dynamics near criticality and shows it matches biodiversity patterns in tropical rain forests.

Inferring macro-ecological patterns from local species’ occurrences

This paper introduces a framework to infer biodiversity patterns at large scales using presence-absence data, showing improved accuracy compared to existing methods.

Biodiversity of Tropical Forests

This paper introduces a framework to estimate biodiversity in tropical forests, showing that previous methods overestimate species counts and revealing hyper-rarity as a buffer against mass extinctions.
