Coexistence, crossover and extirpation in coalescent communities and ecotones

Oikos, EarlyView.
When two ecological communities come into contact, the strength of their mixing determines whether species coexist, extirpate, or extend their ranges. We present analytical formulas and simulations describing these transitions. Specifically, we derive abundance shifts upon community coalescence, identify the critical mixing strength leading to first ...

The niche variation hypothesis predicts hunting returns across human cultures

Oikos, EarlyView.
The niche variation hypothesis (NVH) proposes that a broader population niche arises from greater individual specialization. Despite decades of empirical testing, research remains constrained to non‐human foragers, and the generality of NVH may extend beyond wildlife. The analysis of > 8000 hunting records from 12 human societies across four continents

Quantitative synthesis of the effects of drought on community composition and species interactions in terrestrial ecosystems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Droughts, increasingly frequent under human‐driven climate change, are expected to intensify globally. Both pulsed and prolonged droughts can strongly affect organismal survival and population dynamics, potentially altering terrestrial communities and ecosystems.

Catchment conversion to agriculture alters freshwater macroinvertebrate community responses to flow disturbance: results from a replicated in‐stream experiment

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic stressors often co‐occur in ecosystems, but their combined impacts are rarely assessed using field experiments. Press disturbances particularly can reshape community dynamics, altering their capacity to withstand or recover from acute pulse disturbances by modifying response diversity.

Multitrophic alpha and beta diversity of lake plankton across Canada

Oikos, EarlyView.
Anthropogenic environmental changes impact freshwater biodiversity globally. While biodiversity assessments in freshwater environments have traditionally focused on individual groups of organisms or trophic levels, considering patterns of ‘multitrophic biodiversity' across the food web provides a more comprehensive view of anthropogenic impacts and ...
