Understanding the mechanisms controlling community diversity, functions, succession, and
biogeography is a central, but poorly understood, topic in ecology, particularly in microbial …

Sustainable strategies for managing weeds are critical to meeting agriculture's potential to
feed the world's population while conserving the ecosystems and biodiversity on which we …

We present the results of the search for an isotropic stochastic gravitational wave
background (GWB) at nanohertz frequencies using the second data release of the European …

Revealing the linkages between community assembly and species coexistence, which is
crucial for the understanding of ecosystem diversity and functioning, is a fundamental but …

Plant functional traits can predict community assembly and ecosystem functioning and are
thus widely used in global models of vegetation dynamics and land–climate feedbacks. Still …

Community ecology aims to understand what factors determine the assembly and dynamics
of species assemblages at different spatiotemporal scales. To facilitate the integration …

A plethora of different theories, models, and concepts make up the field of community
ecology. Amid this vast body of work, is it possible to build one general theory of ecological …

Environmental filtering, where the environment selects against certain species, is thought to
be a major mechanism structuring communities. However, recent criticisms cast doubt on …

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

Network analysis has been used for many years in ecological research to analyze
organismal associations, for example in food webs, plant-plant or plant-animal interactions …
