Asynchrony Drives Plant and Animal Community Stability in Mediterranean Coastal Dunes
Applied Sciences, 2021 Substantial evidence now suggests that a positive diversity–stability relationship exists. Yet few studies examine the facets of biodiversity that contribute to this relationship, and empirical research is predominantly conducted on grassland communities

Modularity and stability in ecological communities [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2016 AbstractNetworks composed of distinct, densely connected subsystems are called modular. In ecology, it has been posited that a modular organization of species interactions would benefit the dynamical stability of communities, even though evidence supporting this hypothesis is mixed.

Scrounging by foragers can resolve the paradox of enrichment [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2017 Theoretical models of predator–prey systems predict that sufficient enrichment of prey can generate large amplitude limit cycles, paradoxically causing a high risk of extinction (the paradox of enrichment).

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Background and aimsNitrogen (N) enrichment usually weakens the stabilizing effect of biodiversity on productivity. However, previous studies focused on plant species richness and thus largely ignored the potential contributions of plant functional traits

Metagenomic analysis of ecological niche overlap and community collapse in microbiome dynamics
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Species utilizing the same resources often fail to coexist for extended periods of time. Such competitive exclusion mechanisms potentially underly microbiome dynamics, causing breakdowns of communities composed of species with similar genetic backgrounds

Central bank communication and output stabilization [PDF]
Oxford Economic Papers, 2008 Central banks around the world have a reputation for being secretive about their operations and market assessments. It is sometimes argued that central banks need flexibility and therefore cannot be fully transparent. We find that this explanation does not carry through in a forward-looking New Keynesian framework, where transparency about the central ...

Stability criteria for complex microbial communities [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2018 Abstract Competition and mutualism are inevitable processes in microbial ecology, and a central question is which and how many taxa will persist in the face of these interactions. Ecological theory has demonstrated that when direct, pairwise interactions among a group of species are too numerous, or too strong, then the coexistence of

Facilitative interaction networks in experimental microbial community dynamics
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023 Facilitative interactions between microbial species are ubiquitous in various types of ecosystems on the Earth. Therefore, inferring how entangled webs of interspecific interactions shift through time in microbial ecosystems is an essential step for ...
