Joint assessment of density correlations and fluctuations for analysing spatial tree patterns [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Inferring the processes underlying the emergence of observed patterns is a key challenge in theoretical ecology. Much effort has been made in the past decades to collect extensive and detailed information about the spatial distribution of tropical ...

Human–nature connectedness as a pathway to sustainability: A global meta‐analysis
Conservation Letters, 2022 Internationally agreed sustainability goals are being missed. Here, we conduct global meta‐analyses to assess how the extent to which humans see themselves as part of nature—known as human–nature connectedness (HNC)—can be used as a leverage point to ...

On-Off Intermittency in a Three-Species Food Chain
Mathematics, 2021 The environment affects population dynamics through multiple drivers. Here we explore a simplified version of such influence in a three-species food chain, making use of the Hastings–Powell model.

Ecology under the falling sky: Nature, ecology and entropy in Yanomami cosmology [PDF]
, 2023 This article is a theoretical engagement with the book The Falling Sky, written by anthropologist Bruce Albert and Yanomami shaman Davi Kopenawa. It presents how the concepts of nature and ecology in Yanomami cosmology, as developed by Kopenawa, break ...

Adaptation of Drosophila larva foraging in response to changes in food resources
eLife, 2022 All animals face the challenge of finding nutritious resources in a changing environment. To maximize lifetime fitness, the exploratory behavior has to be flexible, but which behavioral elements adapt and what triggers those changes remain elusive. Using

Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Biological data are often intrinsically hierarchical (e.g., species from different genera, plants within different mountain regions), which made mixed‐effects models a common analysis tool in ecology and evolution because they can account for the non ...

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 In nature, the interaction between pathogens and their hosts is only one of a handful of interaction relationships between species, including parasitism, predation, competition, symbiosis, commensalism, and among others.

Theoretical Clues for Agroecological Transitions: The Conuco Legacy and the Monoculture Trap
Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2021 The multiple ecological crisis that we are facing forces us to ponder the transition toward sustainable agricultural systems. Two key uncertainties need to be unveiled in addressing this problem; first, we need to identify the general features of ...

Wood-inhabiting fungal communities : Opportunities for integration of empirical and theoretical community ecology [PDF]
, 2022 The interest in studying wood-inhabiting fungal communities has grown in recent years. This interest has mainly been motivated by the important roles of wood-inhabiting fungi in ecosystem functioning (e.g. nutrient cycling) and conservation biology (e.g.

F1000Research, 2014 Multifractals have been applied to characterize complex communities in a spatial context. They were developed for nonlinear systems and are particularly suited to capture multiplicative processes observed in ecological systems. Multifractals characterize
