This paper introduces Maximum Caliber, a framework to infer metacommunity dynamics from spatio-temporal data by estimating parameters like migration rates and species interactions.

This study shows that increasing intraguild predation (IGP) in food webs leads to greater temporal variability in biomass across all trophic levels, potentially destabilizing ecosystems.

The paper uses eDNA surveys to infer metacommunity assembly processes in ponds and finds environmental factors and species interactions shape community composition.

This study tests bluegill sunfish as biological control agents to reduce zooplankton in wastewater algal ponds, finding they significantly lower zooplankton and increase algal biomass.

The paper identifies genetic loci, genes, and coexpression modules associated with life history trait variation in Daphnia pulex using genotyping, RNA-Seq, and phenotyping.
