Landscape ecological consolidations as the game-changer for zoonotic host diversity in human habitats

Anthropogenic land use change is a significant driver of global biodiversity loss and can further threaten public health through biological interactions. Understanding these landscape-ecological effects at a local scale can aid in achieving …

Multitrophic assembly: a perspective from modern coexistence theory

Ecological communities encompass rich diversity across multiple trophics. While modern coexistence theory has been useful in understanding community assembly, its traditional formalism only allows for the study of assembly within a single trophic …

Soil microbial influences over coexistence in multispecies plant communities in a subtropical forest

1. Soil microbes are known to substantially affect pairwise plant species coexistence across terrestrial ecosystems. However, projecting soil microbes’ effects on plant coexistence dynamics in diverse, multi-species systems remains a pressing …

Reconceptualizing beta diversity: a hypervolume geometric approach

Beta diversity---the variation among community compositions in a region---is a fundamental indicator of biodiversity. Despite a diverse set of measures to quantify beta diversity, most measures have posited that beta diversity is maximized when each …
