Non-random interactions within and across guilds shape the potential to coexist in multi-trophic ecological communities

David Garcia-Callejas et al.

Summary: This study examines the role of biotic interactions in multi-trophic communities and finds that species self-regulation and niche partitioning contribute to maintaining species persistence and coexistence.

Ranking species based on sensitivity to perturbations under non-equilibrium community dynamics

Lucas P. Medeiros et al.

Summary: Managing ecological communities requires detecting species sensitive to perturbations quickly. This study introduces two data-driven approaches based on the time-varying Jacobian matrix to rank species over time according to their sensitivity to perturbations on abundances. The research demonstrates that the most sensitive species may not have the most rapidly changing or lowest abundance, and these sensitive species are harder to forecast. The results suggest that considering information on species interactions can improve the management of communities out of equilibrium.

Forecasting in the face of ecological complexity: Number and strength of species interactions determine forecast skill in ecological communities

Uriah Daugaard et al.

Summary: The potential for forecasting ecological systems is currently unclear due to their complexity. In this study, a microbial system was monitored to investigate the forecasting of species abundances. The results showed that species with more interactions had weaker interactions but better abundance prediction. Forecast skill increased with model size, but greater system complexity decreased it for some species. These insights could improve species forecasting and monitoring.

Coexistence in diverse communities with higher-order interactions

Theo Gibbs et al.

Summary: Most ecological models assume that interactions in a community occur only between pairs of species. However, our research shows that two species can interactively affect the growth of a focal species, known as higher-order interactions. We analytically predict and numerically confirm that the variability and strength of these higher-order interactions impact species coexistence in diverse communities. We found that as the variability of higher-order interaction strengths increases, fewer species can coexist. Additionally, if these interactions become too harmful or too weak, coexistence is destabilized. Furthermore, our research demonstrates that species-rich communities structured by higher-order interactions are more prone to species loss compared to species-poor communities.

Merging dynamical and structural indicators to measure resilience in multispecies systems

Lucas P. Medeiros et al.

Summary: The study demonstrates the importance of recovery and resistance in resilience of ecological systems, showing a negative correlation between recovery rate and resistance level. The results suggest that measuring either dynamic or structural indicators can provide insights into system resilience, and separating the indicators into full and partial components can offer additional information.

A practical guide to selecting models for exploration, inference, and prediction in ecology

Andrew T. Tredennick et al.

Summary: Selecting among competing statistical models is a core challenge in science. Specifying the purpose of the analysis as data exploration, inference, or prediction can help in identifying an appropriate model selection procedure. Different modeling goals lead to different models selected for different purposes, even with exactly the same data set.

The spatial configuration of biotic interactions shapes coexistence-area relationships in an annual plant community

David Garcia-Callejas et al.

Summary: Empirical observations in a Mediterranean grassland over five years show that spatial heterogeneity plays a minor role in the relationship between species richness and area, while direct pairwise interactions drive species coexistence. A small set of transient species with small population sizes are consistently found across spatial scales, highlighting the importance of species interactions and stochastic events in coexistence and species-area relationships.

Fine scale prediction of ecological community composition using a two-step sequential Machine Learning ensemble

Iciar Civantos-Gomez et al.

Summary: Prediction in ecology is complex due to the interaction of biotic and abiotic processes influencing species abundances. Data-driven models can help predict species abundances based on abiotic variables and competition interactions, but longer time series analysis is needed for accurate future predictions. These models can also improve mechanistic models by incorporating missing variables.

Experimental evidence of the importance of multitrophic structure for species persistence

Ignasi Bartomeus et al.

Summary: This study shows the importance of considering species interactions within and across trophic levels when estimating species persistence. By integrating mathematical approaches and experiments, the researchers demonstrated that idiosyncratic changes occur in the persistence probabilities of both plants and pollinators when manipulating the multitrophic structure, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive understanding of species interactions in ecological communities.

On the sensitivity of food webs to multiple stressors

David Beauchesne et al.

Summary: Evaluating the effects of multiple stressors on ecosystems is increasingly important in the face of global changes. Overlooking species interactions can lead to underestimating the impacts of stressors, with synergistic and antagonistic effects common in food webs. The type of interaction influences species' susceptibility to stressors, with omnivory and tri-trophic interactions being particularly sensitive.
