DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.1847
Abstract: The Unified Neutral Theory of Biodiversity has been put forth to explain species coexistence in forests worldwide, but its assumption of species equivalence has been met with much debate. Theoretical advancements have reconciled the opposing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00442-020-04740-7
Abstract: Recent studies suggest that the assembly of trophic interaction networks is the result of both niche (deterministic and selective) and neutral (stochastic) processes, but we know little about their relative importance. Succession following disturbance offers… read more here.

DOI: 10.1590/1678-4685-gmb-2023-0348
Abstract: Abstract Distinguishing between environmental adaptations and neutral processes poses a challenge in population genetics and evolutionary studies, particularly when phenomena can be explained by both processes. Clines are genotypic or phenotypic characters correlated with environmental… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fmicb.2022.849637
Abstract: Gut-associated microbes can influence insect health and fitness. Understanding the structure of bacterial communities provides valuable insights on how different species may be selected and their functional characteristics in their hosts. The neutral model is… read more here.
