On the sympatric evolution and evolutionary stability of coexistence by relative nonlinearity of competition [PDF]

, 2014
If two species exhibit different nonlinear responses to a single shared resource, and if each species modifies the resource dynamics such that this favors its competitor, they may stably coexist. This coexistence mechanism, known as relative nonlinearity

Climate Change and invasibility of the Antarctic benthos [PDF]

, 2007
Benthic communities living in shallow-shelf habitats in Antarctica (<100-m depth) are archaic in their structure and function. Modern predators, including fast-moving, durophagous (skeleton-crushing) bony fish, sharks, and crabs, are rare or absent ...

Negative plant-soil feedbacks disproportionally affect dominant plants, facilitating coexistence in plant communities

npj Biodiversity, 2023
Plant-soil feedbacks (PSFs) are suggested to be major drivers of plant species coexistence and exotic invasions in natural plant communities, where species with more positive PSFs are thought to be more abundant in communities.

Biodiversity in model ecosystems, I: Coexistence conditions for competing species [PDF]

, 2005
This is the first of two papers where we discuss the limits imposed by competition to the biodiversity of species communities. In this first paper we study the coexistence of competing species at the fixed point of population dynamic equations.

The role of eco-evolutionary experience in invasion success [PDF]

, 2013
Invasion ecology has made considerable progress in identifying specific mechanisms that potentially determine success and failure of biological invasions.

Do Habitats Show a Different Invasibility Pattern by Alien Plant Species? A Test on a Wetland Protected Area

Diversity, 2020
Biological invasions are deemed to be the second most important global driver of biodiversity loss, right behind habitat destruction and fragmentation. In this study, we aimed at testing if community invasibility, defined as the vulnerability to invasion

20 questions on Adaptive Dynamics [PDF]

, 2005
Adaptive Dynamics is an approach to studying evolutionary change when fitness is density or frequency dependent. Modern papers identifying themselves as using this approach first appeared in the 1990s, and have greatly increased up to the present ...

Native and non-native sources of carbohydrate correlate with abundance of an invasive ant [PDF]

NeoBiota, 2020
Invasive species threaten many ecological communities and predicting which communities and sites are invasible remains a key goal of invasion ecology.

Persistence in fluctuating environments [PDF]

, 2010
Understanding under what conditions interacting populations, whether they be plants, animals, or viral particles, coexist is a question of theoretical and practical importance in population biology. Both biotic interactions and environmental fluctuations

Soil biota reduce allelopathic effects of the invasive Eupatorium adenophorum. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Allelopathy has been hypothesized to play a role in exotic plant invasions, and study of this process can improve our understanding of how direct and indirect plant interactions influence plant community organization and ecosystem functioning.
