Population growth is primarily inhibited by processes other than resource depletion, leaving a sublinear signature across species

The paper shows that population growth slows sublinearly with density in most species, challenging the resource-depletion model and suggesting other inhibitory processes are at play.

Ecological predictability emerges at the population level in phytoplankton communities

The paper shows that ecological predictability in phytoplankton communities arises at the population level, not from individual traits like cell size.

Label invariance: a guiding principle for ecological models

This paper introduces label invariance as a principle for ecological models, showing it ensures consistency in dynamics across population groupings and aids in model selection and evaluation.

Biomass competition unifies individual and community scaling patterns

The paper shows that biomass competition explains similar scaling patterns in individual and community levels across marine phytoplankton.
