Agent‐based models in applied ecology: Designing data‐informed simulations for wildlife conservation and management
Agent-based models (ABMs) are increasingly recognized as valuable tools in applied ecology for simulating species behavior, ecological interactions, and responses to management. However, their adopti...

Song et al introduced a geometric measure intended to quantify beta diversity, called betavolume. I assessed its behaviour: 1) betavolume does not measure beta diversity or differentiation; 2) links to species interactions remain to be proven. esajournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Steve Pennings@stevenpennings.bsky.social · 3w agoIn experiments, high plant diversity usually leads to high ecosystem function and stability. But in nature, the same factors that determine plant species diversity may also affect stability. This means the results of BEF experiments don't always apply to natural systems. doi.org/10.1002/ecy....
