Eco‐Evolutionary Dynamics of Generalist and Specialist Pollinators Facing Plant Diversity Changes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 3, March 2026.We use a trait‐based eco‐evolutionary model to explore how changes in flowering plant composition affect interacting pollinators on short‐term ecological and long‐term evolutionary timescales. We find that evolutionary responses to landscape simplification, especially among generalist pollinators, may lead to a substantial loss of functional diversity ...

Dominant deer mice show the importance of abundance in competition
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.Abstract Detecting competitive interactions is important for predicting species responses to environmental change but remains challenging, especially over large scales. Modern coexistence theory predicts that reduced ecological trait overlap promotes coexistence through stabilizing mechanisms, while fitness differences generate competitive asymmetries.

On a kinetic model for a simple market economy
, 2004 In this paper, we consider a simple kinetic model of economy involving both exchanges between agents and speculative trading. We show that the kinetic model admits non trivial quasi-stationary states with power law tails of Pareto type.

Intrinsic noise and two-dimensional maps: Quasicycles, quasiperiodicity, and chaos
, 2014 We develop a formalism to describe the discrete-time dynamics of systems containing an arbitrary number of interacting species. The individual-based model, which forms our starting point, is described by a Markov chain, which in the limit of large system

Distilling food web dynamics: top–down and bottom–up drivers of extinction and trophic cascades
Oikos, Volume 2026, Issue 3, March 2026.Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional approaches rely on continuous representations of population size, but in many cases, the precise number of individuals is unknowable.

Mass Energy and Flow in closed ecosystems [PDF]
, 1972 The general equations of biomass and energy transfer for an n-species, closed ecosystem are written. It is demonstrated how in "ecological time" the parameters describing the dynamics of biomass transfer are related to the parameters of energy transfer ...

Relative Entropy in Biological Systems
, 2016 In this paper we review various information-theoretic characterizations of the approach to equilibrium in biological systems. The replicator equation, evolutionary game theory, Markov processes and chemical reaction networks all describe the dynamics of ...

Symmetric competition as a general model for single-species adaptive dynamics
, 2012 Adaptive dynamics is a widely used framework for modeling long-term evolution of continuous phenotypes. It is based on invasion fitness functions, which determine selection gradients and the canonical equation of adaptive dynamics.
