Individual-based modeling of direct and indirect competition by the glass-box artificial intelligence

This paper develops an individual-based model using explainable AI to demonstrate mechanisms of direct and indirect competition between species, showing how weaker species can outcompete stronger ones and how complete competitors can coexist.

Manifesto of Transparent Mathematical Modeling: From Ecology to General Science

The paper develops transparent mathematical models using logical deterministic cellular automata to address issues in ecological modeling and scientific reasoning.

Coexistence of complete competitors with fitness inequality

This paper shows that two completely competing species can coexist with less than 100% fitness difference under certain conditions, resolving the biodiversity paradox.

The dark side of theoretical ecology

The paper critiques the use of black-box ecological models and advocates for mechanistic white-box models using logical deterministic cellular automata to better understand interspecific competition and biodiversity.

A mechanistic model of the S-shaped population growth

The paper presents a mechanistic model of S-shaped population growth using a deterministic individual-based cellular automata approach to study interspecific competition.
