DOI: 10.1002/ecy.2977
Abstract: A central question of community ecology is to understand how the interplay between processes of the Neutral Theory (e.g., immigration and ecological drift) and niche-based processes (e.g., environmental filtering, intra- and interspecific density-dependence) shape species… read more here.

Abstract: Abstract Here, we present a synthetic view on how Kimura's Neutral theory has helped us gaining insight on the different evolutionary forces that shape human evolution. We put this perspective in the frame of recent… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fbioe.2020.00464
Abstract: Although the recognition of archaea as one of the three kingdoms in the tree of life has been nearly a half-century long, the comparative investigations on their ecological adaptations with bacteria have been limited. The… read more here.

DOI: 10.4013/nbc.2017.123.09
Abstract: The explanation of how the organization of biological communities and the search for an understanding of these patterns occurs has attracted the attention of researchers over several years. Between two existing theories, that sometimes seem… read more here.
