🌴Cinoglu et al. show that only small-scale disturbances & subsequent competition for light can stabilize the coexistence of demographic groups along the growth-survival and stature-recruitment trade-off axes @cfarrior.bsky.social πŸ§ͺ🌎

Small disturbances and subsequent competition for light can maintain a diversity of demographic strategies in a neotropical forest: Results from model–data integration You have to enable JavaScript in your browser's settings in order to use the eReader.

We find stable coexistence of RΓΌger's tropical tree demographic strategies (slow, fast, short-lived breeders, and long-lived pioneers) in a model with just competition for light and stochastic small-scale disturbances.

Great work, Damla Cinoğlu!

The great Sally Otto and I are hosting a series of interviews called β€œReflections on the history of modeling and theory”, as part of @smtpb.bsky.social. First one drops next week, with Simon Levin. Tune in for great stories, some pearls of wisdom, and the long view on modeling and theory in biology.

I'd like to put together a starter pack of early career ecologists (self defined), who are or would like to be active on BlueSky. I'm putting out a 'soft call' here, to see who'd like to be included in the initial group, before formally launching

Reply if you'd like to be in the initial group!
