The paper shows that niche differentiation enables coexistence among early diverging lineages of duckweed before speciation completes, suggesting ecological factors influence speciation.

The paper shows that transient bacterial species can increase resident yeast population sizes by altering local productivity and regional connectivity in a metapopulation model.

The paper investigates how dispersal kernels affect metacommunity diversity by simulating their impact on environmental, biotic, and stochastic factors.

The paper models how consumer body size and habitat preference affect landscape-scale resource heterogeneity under global change.

The paper examines how biotic interactions influence local adaptation across latitudes, finding they affect fitness but only strongly drive adaptation in tropical regions.

The paper manipulates germination timing of two grass species to show that phenological separation reduces within-year coexistence but allows long-term coexistence through annual variation.
