How can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability). 1/2
A practical guide to characterising ecological coexistence
Coexistence is simultaneously one of the most fundamental concepts of ecology, and one of the most difficult to define. A particular challenge is that, despite a well-developed body of research, seve...

Neat new study on the criteria used to hire/promote faculty: www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Lots of differences among countries. E.g. a stronger emphasis on publications in richer places, and more emphasis on other things (e.g. local and public engagement) in lower income regions.

Nineteenth-century land use shapes the current occurrence of some plant species, but weakly affects the richness and total composition of Central European grasslands - Landscape Ecology
Context Historical land use is thought to have influenced plant community diversity, composition and function through the local persistence of taxa that reflect ecological conditions of the past. Obje...
