The paper uses mechanistic population models to show how density dependence promotes species coexistence and explains productivity-diversity relationships.

The paper uses an eco-evolutionary model to show the Janzen-Connell effect can explain macroecological and macroevolutionary patterns by incorporating phylogenetic relatedness and spatial dynamics.

This study uses a trait-based model to show how microbial facilitation and competition shape nitrogen cycling and biogeochemical outcomes in marine environments.

The paper synthesizes genetic data with a marine ecosystem model to analyze functional biogeography of marine heteroprokaryotes, identifying key ecological factors shaping their distribution.

The paper improves maximum growth rate prediction for microbes by integrating phylogenetic information with codon statistics, using a large database of temperature-corrected growth rates.
