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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
