Abstract: Abstract This study investigated the origins and maintenance of biodiversity by integrating ecological and evolutionary mechanisms into a spatially‐explicit synthesis between niche‐based processes and neutral dynamics (ND). An individual‐based model on a two‐dimensional grid with… read more here.

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: 10.1073/pnas.2204394119
Abstract: Significance Communities of interacting species are ubiquitous in Nature. Understanding and predicting these communities’ behaviors informs their engineering in important applications in health and ecological conservation. Despite high phenotypic diversity of organisms across ecosystems, observations… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/eva.13116
Abstract: The human microbiome consists of five major regional biomes distributed in or on our five body sites including skin, oral, lung, gut, and reproductive tract. Its biogeography (the spatial and temporal distribution of its biodiversity)… read more here.
