The recent advancement in data science coupled with the revolution in digital and satellite
technology has improved the potential for artificial intelligence (AI) applications in the …

The oceans appear ideal for biodiversity—they have unlimited water, a large area, are well
connected, have less extreme temperatures than on land, and contain more phyla and …

Tropical forests are renowned for their astonishing diversity of life, but the fundamental
question of how many species occur in tropical forests remains unanswered. Using …

We give a comprehensive review of Chesson's coexistence theory, summarizing, for the first
time, all its fundamental details in one single document. Our goal is for both theoretical and …

Environmental heterogeneity is regarded as one of the most important factors governing
species richness gradients. An increase in available niche space, provision of refuges and …

Insects sustain key ecosystem functions, but how their activity varies across the day–night
cycle and the underlying drivers are poorly understood. Although entomologists generally …

Niche partitioning facilitates species coexistence in a world of limited resources, thereby
enriching biodiversity. For decades, biologists have sought to understand how diverse …

Ecological niche differences are necessary for stable species coexistence but are often
difficult to discern. Models of dietary niche differentiation in large mammalian herbivores …

Understanding variation in resource specialization is important for progress on issues that
include coevolution, community assembly, ecosystem processes, and the latitudinal gradient …

Predicting which species will occur together in the future, and where, remains one of the
greatest challenges in ecology, and requires a sound understanding of how the abiotic and …
