Excited to announce this manuscript! We (@ChrisKlausmeier, @ElenaLitchman, Kaito Umemura and I) introduce a niche- and trait-based theoretical framework that combines local competition with regional dispersal to generate realistic Species-abundance Distributions.

🚨 Theory is hard to understand but also hard to communicate! We borrow principles from Cognitive Load Theory to provide a list of recommendations on how theory can be made more accessible. Read more about it in @AIBSbiology tinyurl.com/2vkwj577

If you ask an ecologist for the data in their paper (which they agreed to make available on publication), chances are they will ignore you
(Orange ignored, blue declined, purple sent data)
Matthew Rees@matt_w_rees
In @qaecology coding club today we discussed this paper - nature.com/articles/s4159…. Lots of nuance, but I just reckon you shouldn't whinge about being asked to share field data if you've analysed it with open source software or public code.

@MeghnaSrishti To the extent that the trade-off relates to differential seedling survival, I would expect seedlings-saplings to be the most relevant stages. Simple stage structure (seedlings + reproducing adults) did not affect results in our model.
English
@raf_dandrea I suppose to test your proposition, we would need data across multiple life stages? Seedlings may show a signature we pick up quickly, or the strongest responses to environmental variation, but is it enough to assess outcomes of tolerance-fecundity trade-off, I wonder
English
Informative analysis of when and how a trade-off in stress tolerance vs. fecundity matters for plant coexistence.
@raf_dandrea: thoughts on how this might play out in fragmented landscapes where there can be complex spatial pattern of stressors at small spatial scales?

When there is #competition for space, a combination of #dispersal limitation, spatial variation in the environment, and tradeoffs between #seed output and stress tolerance can guarantee #coexistence and boost species #diversity! @raf_dandrea @Jp_odwyer doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

New paper out on @JEcology. Seed size diversity may rely on a trade-off between fecundity and tolerance to environmental stress. Turns out this niche mechanism is much stronger when seed dispersal is local and the tradeoff is sharp, not gradual. @Jp_odwyer

As incoming chair serving the @ESA_Theory Theoretical Ecology section, I'm excited to see the presentations below & looking forward to highlighting the excellent science I tune in for next week. Please add your theory/theory-adjacent presentation here:

Species assemblages may behave like a neutral system despite differences in consumer preferences for alternative resources. Can we predict when that will happen? New paper out in @PLOSCompBiol with @Jp_odwyer and @GibbsTheo

Paper tackles the debate over the relative roles of strategy differences v similarities of tropical trees to stably coexist. Rafael @raf_dandrea wrote a @sciencetrend piece on the theory paper that developed the method used in @ESAEcology paper (2/2) sciencetrends.com/trait-based-cl…

Getting along niche-ly: this paper by @raf_dandrea and co-authors examines how #spacialclustering and #niche partitioning allows similar species to co-exist in tropical #forests. Recommended by Thorsten Wiegand @UFZ_de f1000.com/prime/73740912…

New paper out in Ecology with a great group of collaborators led by postdoc @raf_dandrea. Competition theory led a long time ago to the idea of limiting similarity---i.e. species in a community having widely spaced-out traits. But...
