The effects of warming on the stability of consumer-resource interactions

This study investigates how warming affects the stability of consumer-resource interactions by analyzing empirical data and proposing a theoretical framework to standardize comparisons.

Epigenetic variation causes heritable variation in complex traits in the mollusk Biomphalaria glabrata, vector of the human parasite Schistosoma mansoni

The paper shows that epigenetic variation in Biomphalaria glabrata affects heritable complex traits like fecundity and resistance to Schistosoma mansoni.

The limits to ecological limits to diversification

The paper introduces a new DAISIE model to test for phylogenetic limits to ecological limits to diversification using phylogenetic data from Eleutherodactylus frogs on Hispaniola.

Theory of temperature-dependent consumer-resource interactions

The paper develops a theoretical framework combining sensitivity analysis and aggregate parameters to predict how warming affects consumer-resource interactions and community stability.

Habitat fragmentation and food security in crop pollination systems

This study models how habitat fragmentation affects crop yields through pollination, showing that biodiversity and landscape structure are critical for stable food production.

Stoichiometric constraints modulate the effects of temperature and nutrients on biomass distribution and community stability

The paper extends a consumer-resource model to include stoichiometric constraints, showing they affect community stability, biomass distribution, and persistence under varying temperature and nutrient conditions.

Additional analytical support for a new method to compute the likelihood of diversification models

The paper provides analytical proof that a numerical framework for computing diversification model likelihoods is correct for all special cases with known analytical solutions.

The inherent multidimensionality of temporal variability: How common and rare species shape stability patterns

The paper shows how variability in ecological communities, viewed as a response to stochastic perturbations, reveals stability properties shaped by common and rare species.

Trade-offs in provisioning and stability of multiple ecosystem services in agroecosystems

The paper develops a model to study trade-offs and synergies in ecosystem services in agroecosystems, showing how landscape composition affects service stability and crop production.

The relationship between the spatial scaling of biodiversity and ecosystem stability

The paper develops a theoretical model linking biodiversity and ecosystem stability across spatial scales, showing how spatial scaling affects their relationship.

How ecosystems recover from pulse perturbations: A theory of short- to long-term responses

This paper explains why short-term recovery rates in ecosystems differ from long-term resilience, showing that short-term responses depend on perturbation distribution and species abundance.
