Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding how species competing for similar resources coexist and influence each other has been, and still is, one of the big questions of community ecology. This question has often been tackled by comparing ecological niches of species pairs, although usually more than just two species compete for the same resources.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective
Oikos, EarlyView.The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Nonlinear interactive effects of temperature and soil moisture on plant biomass and carbon fluxes
Oikos, EarlyView.Climate warming is affecting plant growth and CO2 fluxes in high‐latitude ecosystems. However, soil moisture – and how it responds to warming – can alter the shape of the relationship between temperature and both plant performance and ecosystem processes. We conducted a microcosm experiment to test the interactive effects of temperature, soil moisture,

A framework for investigating fish population density responses to habitat fragmentation
Oikos, EarlyView.Globally, fish populations that rely on rivers are being fragmented by in‐stream barriers, but it is unclear how pervasive any negative population responses to fragmentation are. We developed a modeling framework for estimating density responses of fishes upstream and downstream of in‐stream barriers and applied it to learn how low‐head dams have ...

Oikos, EarlyView.Understanding how species interactions relate to biodiversity requires linking complex interaction networks to coexistence mechanisms. In diverse communities, interactions span trophic levels and include pairwise and higher‐order effects, yet their relative importance for explaining population dynamics remains poorly understood.
