Can higher-order interactions resolve the species coexistence paradox?

This study investigates how higher-order species interactions can enable coexistence when pairwise interactions fail, finding that facilitative interactions are less stable than competitive ones.

On the limits to invasion prediction using coexistence outcomes

This study examines the limits of predicting invasion outcomes from coexistence outcomes using a Lotka-Volterra framework, showing varying degrees of translatability between different ecological dynamics.

Coexistence in diverse communities with higher-order interactions

The paper analytically and numerically examines how variability and strength of higher-order interactions affect species coexistence in diverse communities.

Asynchrony between virus diversity and antibody selection limits influenza virus evolution

The paper shows that the timing mismatch between virus growth and antibody selection limits antigenic evolution within hosts, explaining global selectivity and local neutrality in influenza.

Cascading regime shifts within and across scales

This study examines cascading regime shifts across scales, finding that 45% of regime shift pairs have structural interdependencies, with driver sharing common in aquatic systems and hidden feedbacks in terrestrial systems.

Mobility can promote the evolution of cooperation via emergent self-assortment dynamics

This paper shows mobility can promote cooperation by enabling self-assortment of cooperators in dynamic populations without requiring information about others' traits or strategies.
