DOI: 10.1002/ecy.3247
Abstract: Abstract A simple description of temporal dynamics of ecological communities may help us understand how community assembly proceeds, predict ecological responses to environmental disturbances, and improve the performance of biological conservation actions. Although community changes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2017.08.016
Abstract: Abstract Humans are dependent on a large number of species of animals, plants, fungi, and microbes that provide indispensable ecosystem functions and produce essential goods. Apart from the economic valuation of the direct and indirect… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.03.013
Abstract: Abstract Biodiversity is recognized as one of the corner-stones of healthy ecosystems, thus its conservation is increasingly becoming one of the most important targets of environmental management. Despite there is a general recognition that it… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pecon.2017.09.003
Abstract: Abstract Rewilding encompasses management actions such as reintroductions and translocations with the purpose of restoring ecological processes and ecosystem functions that were lost when species were locally extirpated. The success of a species introduction is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14389
Abstract: The role of species interactions in controlling the interplay between the stability of ecosystems and their biodiversity is still not well understood. The ability of ecological communities to recover after small perturbations of the species… read more here.

Diversity spurs diversification in ecological communities

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms15810
Abstract: Diversity is a fundamental, yet threatened, property of ecological systems. The idea that diversity can itself favour diversification, in an autocatalytic process, is very appealing but remains controversial. Here, we study a generalized model of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/2041-210x.13377
Abstract: Complex networks have been useful to link experimental data with mechanistic models, and have become widely used across many scientific disciplines. Recently, the increasing amount and complexity of data, particularly in biology, has prompted the… read more here.
