Advances in restoration ecology are needed to guide ecological restoration in a variable
and changing world. Coexistence theory provides a framework for how variability in …

… From the single-species Beverton–Holt model, we then extend from populations to the
community level (Shoemaker and Melbourne 2016), adding interspecific competition to Eq. 1 such …

The β‐null deviation measure, developed as a null model for β‐diversity, is increasingly
used in empirical studies to detect the underlying structuring mechanisms in communities (eg …

Multilevel societies, containing hierarchically nested social levels, are remarkable social
structures whose origins are unclear. The social relationships of sperm whales are organized in …

While we know climate change will impact individuals, populations, and communities, we
lack a cross-scale synthesis for understanding global variation in climate change impacts and …

… are often assumed to be reciprocal (ie, both species require fluctuations to persist) or
treated as such in theoretical literature for mathematical ease (Chesson 2000b; Shoemaker & …

Synchronous dynamics (fluctuations that occur in unison) are universal phenomena with
widespread implications for ecological stability. Synchronous dynamics can amplify the …

Four metacommunity paradigms—usually called neutral, species sorting, mass effects, and
patch dynamics, respectively—are widely used for empirical and theoretical studies of spatial …

Scientific writing, while an indispensable step of the scientific process, is often overlooked in
undergraduate courses in favor of maximizing class time devoted to scientific concepts. …

Ecological stability refers to a family of concepts used to describe how systems of interacting
species vary through time and respond to disturbances. Because observed ecological …
