Spatial ecology of territorial populations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2019 Many ecosystems, from vegetation to biofilms, are composed of territorial populations that compete for both nutrients and physical space. What are the implications of such spatial organization for biodiversity? To address this question, we developed and analyzed a model of territorial resource competition.

Ontogeny of color development in two green–brown polymorphic grasshopper species
Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Many insects, including several orthopterans, undergo dramatic changes in body coloration during ontogeny. This variation is particularly intriguing in gomphocerine grasshoppers, where the green and brown morphs appear to be genetically determined ...

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2020 Background Local coexistence of distinct, genetically determined color morphs can be unstable and transitional. Stable, long-term coexistence requires some form of balancing selection to protect morphs from getting lost by directional selection or ...

Making virtual species less virtual by reverse engineering of spatiotemporal ecological models
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 The virtual species (VS) and virtual ecologist (VE) approaches are useful tools that allow testing different methodological aspects of species distribution modelling.

Are there ecological limits to population? [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1993 Policy on population and environment in the United States and abroad has been vacillating, unsure of its course; it would be more decisive if the several disciplines could agree on the nature of the problems and their urgency. The two disciplines principally concerned are biology and economics, and the contribution of this paper is to identify eight of
