The paper quantifies species co-occurrence propensity using a new index, demonstrating its application across different ecological systems.

The paper estimates trait dimensionality in plant communities and finds it often exceeds species richness, suggesting many traits contribute to coexistence.

The paper shows that in large competitive ecological communities, strong intraspecific competition ensures a feasible steady state and stability, making sustained oscillations or chaos unlikely.

This study introduces a microbe-plasmid model to analyze plasmid invasion and eradication, showing that competition structure leads to bistability and sudden regime shifts.
