The paper shows that higher-order interactions in ecological models can increase the probability of feasible equilibria with increasing species diversity, contrasting with pairwise interactions where feasibility decreases.

The paper shows that higher-order interactions in ecosystems lead to abrupt community collapse rather than gradual extinction, challenging traditional pairwise theory.

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.

The paper measures transcriptional resilience to heat stress in C. elegans and finds it predicts long-term thermotolerance.

This study examines gene expression changes in C. elegans during heat stress, identifying a critical time window where gene expression shifts and phenotypic damage becomes irreversible.
