A surprising number of species can thrive despite direct competition. Ecologists have the beginnings of a new theory on how this might be possible, writes @vero_greenwood for @QuantaMagazine: theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
Out in @TheAtlantic, a piece from @vero_greenwood for @QuantaMagazine on my recent publication with @Jp_odwyer, highlighting how our theory allows for a little more biodiversity than previously thought theatlantic.com/science/archiv…
In a recent paper, ecologists Kenneth Jops and James O’Dwyer found that plants that should be in direct competition can coexist — provided that their life histories are complementary. quantamagazine.org/the-key-to-spe…
A New Application of Matrix Models: Competition and Community Assembly, a blog by Kenny Jops on his recent @Nature publication using COMPADRE, with @Jp_odwyer compadre-db.org/AboutUs/Blog
Scientists are intrigued by forests where the biodiversity is far higher than niche theories of ecology say it should be. New findings show that similarities in the life histories of organisms may explain the discrepancy. @vero_greenwood reports: quantamagazine.org/the-key-to-spe…
Check out @Jp_odwyer and I in this @UofIllinois news feature (obligatory picture of him touching plants included) news.illinois.edu/view/6367/9321…
Happy to share my first publication, out in nature today: nature.com/articles/s4158… @Jp_odwyer and I investigated the effects of life history differences on coexistence and found certain combinations of life history traits led to more stable communities.
Please check out @KennethJops 1st PhD paper, published in @nature: rdcu.be/ddZfZ. We integrated stochastic competition for resources with life history differences---the schedule of when individuals grow, reproduce & die. And tested the theory in perennial plants. (1/4)
