The development of ecological systems along paths of least resistance

Jie Deng, Otto X. Cordero, Tadashi Fukami, Simon A. Levin, Robert M. Pringle, Ricard V. Solé, Serguei Saavedra

The paper shows that ecological systems develop in a sequenced order from fast-to slow-growing taxa due to environmental resistance minimization, supported by theoretical and empirical evidence.
