What have we actually learned from empirical applications of Modern Coexistence Theory? We reviewed 84 studies from the last two decades to find out. Read our new synthesis in Ecology Letters here:

Peter Scholze (left) and Dustin Clausen are undertaking an ambitious project to generate an entire new category of mathematical objects. Their work retains all of the best parts of topological spaces — without the drawbacks. www.quantamagazine.org/two-research...

This paper makes an interesting claim about the identifiably of multivariate effects in ecological models.
But unfortunately, its characterization of our recent work (arxiv.org/abs/2602.16937) is very misleading. 1/2
Our paper on transient dynamics and nonlinear fitness it out in Ecology! We present a matrix framework that links pulse (one-time) and press (sustained) perturbations, showing how transient nonlinearities and demography shape fitness. (1/3)

🚨 New Paper 🚨
Thrilled to share new work with @evodaveo.bsky.social eo.bsky.social! We dive into the evolution of gene duplicates and demonstrate how expression variability might contribute to retention following duplication.

Our paper entitled "The persistence and loss of hard selective sweeps amid admixture in ancient Eurasians" is now out in PNAS! www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1.... A really fun and informative collaboration with @mharris.bsky.social, Ziyi Mo and Adam Siepel. (1/n)
Disturbances can occur as short-lived pulses (e.g., storms) or sustained presses (e.g., chronic drought). Much work in ecology has developed methods to help predict how natural populations respond to...
For this month's GBE Highlight, SMBE Fellow Haoran Cai delves into Adey et al., who investigated the role of pervasive transcription in the human genome.

We demonstrate that graph-based models are fully capable of representing higher-order interactions, and have a long history of being used for precisely this purpose. This stands in contrast to a commo...
The purpose of these awards is to provide support for students entering U.S.-based Ph.D. programs with a plan to perform research in ecology and evolution. While we will consider all projects in ecolo...
Abstract. Genome analyses reveal that gene duplication in eukaryotes is pervasive, providing a primary source for the emergence of new genes. Nevertheless,
evol-mut-circle is an international group of scientists, philosophers, and historians interested in research on the role of mutation in evolution, particularly as a dispositional factor. The group …

Can we actually infer their presence just by looking at species abundance time-series? We built an idealized computational pipeline to find out... the surprising answer is no!
