These two papers, led by Pablo Lechón-Alonso, are absolutely beautiful. They settle questions I’ve wondered about since grad school, using genuinely novel mathematical tricks. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...; www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

Emergent feasibility in random ecological systems with higher-order interactions

A recurring lesson from random ecological models is that coexistence is hard to come by: in the Generalized Lotka-Volterra (GLV) model with pairwise interactions, the probability that randomly sampled...

Happy to share a new preprint! W/ @zachgold.bsky.social, Haylee Oyler, Jonathan Levine and @nathanjbkraft.bsky.social. We use a spatially explicit experimental design to ask: do higher-order interactions structure the dynamics of annual plant communities? Link: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... 🧵

(A) A conceptual diagram of interspecific and intraspecific higher-order interactions among annual plants. (B) Conceptual diagrams (along with pictures of actual annual plants) of two different spatial arrangements of competitors to manipulate the relative frequecy of inter to intraspecific higher-order interactions.

Theory of host-microbe symbioses: Challenges and opportunities

Growing insight into microbial symbioses highlights the need to model these systems mathematically. We discuss three areas requiring theoretical advan…
