This paper develops a unifying framework to predict pathogen strain and species competition outcomes by generalizing ecological coexistence theory to account for resource overcompensation.

This study shows Drosophila melanogaster pigmentation adapts to temperature, competition, diet, and microbiome, indicating a complex selective landscape.

This paper introduces a new method called covariance criteria to rigorously test ecological models by analyzing covariance relationships between observable quantities, demonstrating its effectiveness across multiple ecological challenges.

The paper shows that spatial clustering of competitors in plant communities alters the strength of higher-order interactions, affecting seed production in focal plants.

The paper examines how competitor-induced plasticity affects plant traits and competitive outcomes, finding that plastic responses can reduce pairwise coexistence likelihood.

This paper develops a framework to predict pathogen mutual invasibility and co-circulation using ecological theory, finding near-universal mutual invasibility across major pathogen systems.

The paper estimates global land suitability for 19 land-based climate mitigation strategies, identifying areas of conflict and compatibility.
