The finding that adaptive evolution can often be substantial enough to alter ecological
dynamics challenges traditional views of community ecology that ignore evolution. Here, we …

Metacommunity ecology links smaller-scale processes that have been the provenance of
population and community ecology—such as birth-death processes, species interactions …

Landscape level forest connectivity regulates species level biodiversity, wildlife movement,
seed dispersal and ecological factors. Geospatial assessment of forest connectivity at the …

If two species live on a single resource, the one with a slight advantage will out-compete the
other: complete competitors cannot coexist. This is known as the competitive exclusion …

By applying a technique previously developed to study ecosystem assembly [Capitán et al.,
Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 168101 (2009)] we study the evolutionary stable strategies of iterated 2 …

Community ecology has traditionally relied on the competitive exclusion principle, a piece of
common wisdom in conceptual frameworks developed to describe species assemblages …

In food webs, the degree of intervality of consumers' diets is an indicator of the number of
dimensions that are necessary to determine the niche of a species. Previous studies …

Recently we have introduced a simplified model of ecosystem assembly (Capitán et al.,
2009) for which we are able to map out all assembly pathways generated by external …

Ecosystems often undergo abrupt regime shifts in response to gradual external changes.
These shifts are theoretically understood as a regime switch between alternative stable …

Abstract 1 If two species live on a single resource, the one with a slight advantage 2 will out-
compete the other: complete competitors can not coexist. This 3 is known as the competitive …
