In generalized Lotka–Volterra communities, stable coexistence almost always requires overyielding; in four long-term biodiversity experiments, underyielding raised species-loss odds within two observations (pooled odds ratio 2.61).

This paper develops a method to infer species interactions and environmental changes in ecological networks using mechanistic models and statistical inference, validated on synthetic and empirical data.

The paper introduces a graphical approach to analyze eco-evolutionary dynamics and their impact on species coexistence, showing evolution can sometimes reduce coexistence stability.

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

This study examines how coevolution and immigration shape specialist-generalist community structures, finding that evolutionary rates and dispersal influence diversity and community composition.

This paper infers intrinsic population growth rates and per capita interactions from ecological time-series using weighted multivariate regression, revealing trade-offs and facilitation in algal communities.

This study investigates how pathogens influence host diversity by analyzing a host-pathogen system and finds that pathogens rarely drive diversification, resulting in low levels of stable coexistence.

This paper models how the curvature of fecundity-immunity trade-offs affects host evolution, pathogen spread, and host abundance using an SIR framework.
