Unraveling the temporal dependence of ecological interaction measures

This paper shows that apparent changes in species interactions over time can arise from population dynamics and experimental setup, and proposes using short time series to better distinguish direct from indirect interactions.

Unveiling Gene Perturbation Effects through Gene Regulatory Networks Inference from single-cell transcriptomic data

IGNITE infers gene regulatory networks from scRNA-seq data and accurately simulates gene perturbations with 74% accuracy in murine pluripotent stem cells.

A minimal model of Norway spruce - bark beetle outbreak dynamics

This paper develops a minimal model of Norway spruce-bark beetle outbreak dynamics, showing how environmental changes can shift the system from stable to recurrent outbreaks.

Modelling post-disturbance empirical patterns in a forest ecosystem

The paper models how forest ecosystems recover from disturbances using two community dynamics frameworks, finding that non-neutral interactions better capture community structure.

A phenomenological spatial model for macro-ecological patterns in species-rich ecosystems

The paper introduces a spatial stochastic model to explain macro-ecological patterns in species-rich ecosystems and validates it against empirical data from tropical forests.
