Species coexistence in a changing world [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015 The consequences of global change for the maintenance of species diversity will depend on the sum of each species responses to the environment and on the interactions among them. A wide ecological literature supports that these species-specific responses can arise from factors related to life strategies, evolutionary history and intraspecific variation,

Phenotypic plasticity promotes species coexistence.
Nature Ecology & Evolution, 2022 Ecological explanations for species coexistence assume that species' traits, and therefore the differences between species, are fixed on short timescales.

Turbulent dispersal promotes species coexistence [PDF]
Ecology Letters, 2010 Several recent advances in coexistence theory emphasize the importance of space and dispersal, but focus on average dispersal rates and require spatial heterogeneity, spatio-temporal variability or dispersal-competition tradeoffs to allow coexistence. We

Coexistence in metacommunities: A tree-species model [PDF]
Mathematical Biosciences, 2006 Simple patch-occupancy models of competitive metacommunities have shown that coexistence is possible as long as there is a competition-colonization tradeoff such as that of superior competitors and dispersers.

Hybridization and the Coexistence of Species [PDF]
The American Naturalist, 2021 Abstract It is thought that two species can coexist if they use different resources present in the environment, yet this assumes that species are completely reproductively isolated. We model coexistence outcomes for two sympatric species that are ecologically differentiated but have incomplete reproductive isolation. The consequences of

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Lizard diets are highly diverse and have contributed to the diversification, biogeographical distributions, and evolution of novel traits across this global radiation.

Positive density dependence acting on mortality can help maintain species-rich communities
eLife, 2020 Conspecific negative density dependence is ubiquitous and has long been recognized as an important factor favoring the coexistence of competing species at local scale.

Effects of rapid evolution on species coexistence. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2019 Increasing evidence for rapid evolution suggests that the maintenance of species diversity in ecological communities may be influenced by more than purely ecological processes. Classic theory shows that interspecific competition may select for traits that increase niche differentiation, weakening competition and thus promoting species coexistence ...

Modelling ecological communities when composition is manipulated experimentally
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 In an experimental setting, the composition of ecological communities can be manipulated directly. Starting from a pool of n species, it is possible to co‐culture species in different combinations, ranging from monocultures, to pairs, and all the way up ...

Life-cycle switching and coexistence of species with no niche differentiation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The increasing evidence of coexistence of cryptic species with no recognized niche differentiation has called attention to mechanisms reducing competition that are not based on niche-differentiation.
