A signal of competitive dominance in mid-latitude herbaceous plant communities
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Understanding the main determinants of species coexistence across space and time is a central question in ecology. However, ecologists still know little about the scales and conditions at which biotic interactions matter and how these interact with the ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2012 Insects feeding on the foliage of oak were studied on a mountain where species of Mediterranean deciduous and evergreen oak coexist. There were 58 insect species (54 Lepidoptera, 1 Coleopteran and 3 Hymenoptera) belonging to twenty families in the ...

Higher order interactions and species coexistence [PDF]
, 2021 Higher order interactions (HOIs) have been suggested to stabilize diverse ecological communities. However, their role in maintaining species coexistence from the perspective of modern coexistence theory is not known.

Invasion Consequences in Communities Maintained by Niche and Intransitive Coexistence Mechanisms
Diversity, 2023 Understanding invasion mechanisms or identifying their potential outcomes has been a longstanding objective of invasion. Many recent empirical and theoretical works tend to frame a perspective of invasion biology within the field of coexistence theory ...

Turbulent dispersal promotes species coexistence [PDF]
, 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

Ecology and Evolution, 2023 Reproductive isolation plays an important role in maintaining the species integrity of sympatric close relatives. For sympatric Arisaema species, interspecific gene flow is expected to be effectively prevented by pre‐pollination barriers, particularly ...

Neighborhood Effects on Tree Mortality Depend on Life Stage of Neighbors
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Neighborhood effects are a crucial ecological processes that allow species to coexist in a forest. Conspecific and heterospecific neighbors, as major group classifications, affect tree mortality through various mechanisms associated with neighbor life ...

Temporal mortality-colonization dynamic can influence the coexistence and persistence patterns of cooperators and defectors in an evolutionary game model [PDF]
Computational Ecology and Software, 2014 In the present report, the coexistence and persistence time patterns of Prisoners' Dilemma game players were explored in 2D spatial grid systems by considering the impacts of the mortality-colonization temporal dynamic specifically.

Species differences in phenology shape coexistence
, 2019 Ecological theory produces opposing predictions about whether differences in the timing of life history transitions, or ‘phenology’, promote or limit coexistence.

Pairwise interaction point processes for modelling bivariate spatial point patterns in the presence of interaction uncertainty [PDF]
, 2015 Current ecological research seeks to understand the mechanisms that sustain biodiversity and allow a large number of species to coexist. Coexistence concerns inter-individual interactions. Consequently, there is an interest in identifying and quantifying
