Check out this work I collaborated with, led by @seh-pang.bsky.social , linking the niche definition with demographic responses. Certainly key for spatiotemporal species modelling!

📜New Paper📜@ecography.bsky.social Species distributions aren’t just about where species occur, but how survival, reproduction and development vary across environments. We formalise the Demographic Niche Concept to link niche theory and demography. nsojournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Such a beautiful pithfork bifurcation.

New preprint with @biologyjoe87.bsky.social and Jürg Spaak: a mathematically rigorous method for building community assembly graphs from Lotka-Volterra models, which map which species coexist and how single species introductions shift community composition. 1/14 www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Very proud of this project! @oscar-godoy.bsky.social @langa71.bsky.social

American Naturalist / ASN 🐌@asn-amnat.bsky.social · 4w ago

Godoy et al. explored whether cooperation gives rise to mechanisms of coexistence that competition does not promote and found that cooperation promotes three unique mechanisms that diversify the pathways to coexistence. Read now ahead of print! www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

Using Modern Coexistence Theory to Understand Community Disassembly

Community disassembly examines how extinctions reshape ecological communities. Here, we introduce the community disassembly graph, which uses invasion growth rates (IGRs) to identify extinction-drive....

Can we engineer ecosystems before they collapse? In our new perspective on "emergent bioengineering" we argue that the key challenge is not simply controlling living systems, but designing interventions that can adapt and sustain functional ecological networks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

@smelons.bsky.social gave a constructive keynote at #CompleNet26 on higher-order vs classical networks. The big question: are new results related to classical theory? Are they equivalent? @complenet.bsky.social 🧵👇

Seeing how happy people are truly moves us. All the effort is worth it! Special thanks go to @sorianopanos.bsky.social @acardillo.bsky.social @carmen-cabrera.bsky.social Bea, Hugo, Pablo, Francesca, Santi, Carlos, Luciano. All of them are giving their very best!
