The more‐individuals hypothesis revisited: the role of community abundance in species richness regulation and the productivity–diversity relationship
Species richness increases with energy availability, yet there is little consensus as to the
exact processes driving this species–energy relationship. The most straightforward …

Approaching a state shift in Earth's biosphere
Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to
another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Here we review evidence that the …

Genetic diversity loss in the Anthropocene
Anthropogenic habitat loss and climate change are reducing species' geographic ranges,
increasing extinction risk and losses of species' genetic diversity. Although preserving …

Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate
Climate change is a well-documented driver of both wildlife extinction and disease
emergence, but the negative impacts of climate change on parasite diversity are …

Information theory: A foundation for complexity science
Modeling and inference are central to most areas of science and especially to evolving and
complex systems. Critically, the information we have is often uncertain and insufficient …

The fractal brain: scale-invariance in structure and dynamics
The past 40 years have witnessed extensive research on fractal structure and scale-free
dynamics in the brain. Although considerable progress has been made, a comprehensive …

Global estimates of mammalian viral diversity accounting for host sharing
Present estimates suggest there are over 1 million virus species found in mammals alone,
with about half a million posing a possible threat to human health. Although previous …

Maximum information entropy: a foundation for ecological theory
The maximum information entropy (MaxEnt) principle is a successful method of statistical
inference that has recently been applied to ecology. Here, we show how MaxEnt can …
