Energetic constraints shape the diversity of feasible ecological networks

Chengyi Long, Marco Tulio Angulo, C. Brandon Ogbunugafor, Ricard V. Solé, Serguei Saavedra

This paper develops a geometric framework to show how energetic constraints shape ecological network diversity, revealing a unimodal relationship between energy supply and biodiversity.

On the energetic boundaries of trophic systems

Serguei Saavedra, Chengyi Long, Sonia Kéfi, Simon A. Levin, Pablo A. Marquet, Rudolf P. Rohr, Marco Tulio Angulo

The paper develops a thermodynamic framework to determine the energetic boundaries of trophic systems and shows how these boundaries limit food-chain length.

Linking power, efficiency, and bifurcations in consumer-resource systems

Serguei Saavedra, Yuguang Yang, Christopher P. Kempes, Chengyi Long, Ricard V. Solé, Tomo Yoshino, Marco Tulio Angulo

The paper links power, efficiency, and bifurcations in consumer-resource systems using mathematical models and shows how ecological principles can be formalized and tested.
