Comparing process-based and constraint-based approaches for modeling macroecological patterns [PDF]
arXiv, 2015 Ecological patterns arise from the interplay of many different processes, and yet the emergence of consistent phenomena across a diverse range of ecological systems suggests that many patterns may in part be determined by statistical or numerical constraints.

Invariance in ecological pattern [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 The abundance of different species in a community often follows the log series distribution. Other ecological patterns also have simple forms. Why does the complexity and variability of ecological systems reduce to such simplicity? Common answers include maximum entropy, neutrality, and convergent outcome from different underlying biological processes.

A theory of ecological invasions and its implications for eco-evolutionary dynamics [PDF]
arXivPredicting the outcomes of species invasions is a central goal of ecology, a task made especially challenging due to ecological feedbacks. To address this, we develop a general theory of ecological invasions applicable to a wide variety of ecological models: including Lotka-Volterra models, consumer resource models, and models with cross feeding ...

Reinterpreting Maximum Entropy in Ecology: a null hypothesis constrained by ecological mechanism [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Simplified mechanistic models in ecology have been criticized for the fact that a good fit to data does not imply the mechanism is true: pattern does not equal process. In parallel, the maximum entropy principle (MaxEnt) has been applied in ecology to make predictions constrained by just a handful of state variables, like total abundance or species ...
