An experimental validation test of ecological coexistence theory to forecast extinction under rising temperatures.

The paper tests coexistence theory's ability to predict extinction under rising temperatures in a competitive ecological system, finding limited predictive precision despite identifying stressor interactions.

Codistribution as an indicator of whole metacommunity response to environmental change.

The paper uses joint species distribution models to analyze how metacommunity structure responds to environmental change, finding that declines in codistribution components indicate ecological breakdown.

Schrödinger's range-shifting cat: analytic predictions for the effect of asymmetric environmental performance on climate change responses

The paper derives analytical results for species' climate change responses using quantum mechanics analogies, showing that performance curve asymmetry direction has little impact on persistence or lags.

Temporally robust occupancy frequency distributions in riverine ecosystems explained by local biodiversity regulation

The paper examines occupancy frequency distributions in riverine ecosystems, showing they are time-invariant and explained by a local biodiversity regulation model.

Community composition exceeds area as a predictor of long-term conservation value

The paper shows that compositional distinctness is a better predictor of long-term species loss than site area in conservation prioritization.

No pervasive size trend in global community dynamics.

The paper analyzes global community dynamics and finds no trend linking species size to changes in abundance rank over time.

Synthesising the multiple impacts of climatic variability on community responses to climate change

The paper examines how climatic variability and interspecific interactions influence species range shifts and emphasizes the need for empirically parameterized models to quantify these effects.

Natural enemies have inconsistent impacts on the coexistence of competing species

The paper tests how a generalist natural enemy affects coexistence of competing insect species and finds that parasitism impacts coexistence through fitness differences, not niche differences, with no overall trade-off between reproductive rate and susceptibility.

Identifying Important Interaction Modifications in Ecological Systems

The paper identifies key trophic interaction modifications in ecological networks that significantly affect system dynamics using simulated food webs.
