Given the frequent association between freshwater plankton and water quality degradation,
several predictive models have been devised to understand and estimate their dynamics …

Knowledge and estimates of species richness at all scales are biased both by our
understanding of the evolutionary processes shaping diversity and by the methods used to …

Adaptive radiation can be strongly influenced by interspecific competition for resources,
which can lead to diverse outcomes ranging from competitive exclusion to character …

Competitive intransitivity, a situation in which species' competitive ranks cannot be listed in a
strict hierarchy, promotes species coexistence through “enemy's enemy indirect facilitation.” …

Habitat heterogeneity in the Pantanal results from flood dynamics and vegetation
characteristics. Considering that these impacts affect landbird nesting conditions and food …

In apparent contradiction to competition theory, the number of known, coexisting plankton
species far exceeds their explicable biodiversity—a discrepancy termed the Paradox of the …

Emerging interactions are key determinants of system productivity and efficiency in plant and
animal communities, whereas their importance for planktonic microbial assemblages is …

The green alga Scenedesmus is known for its phenotypic plasticity in response to grazing
risk. However, the benefits of colony formation induced by infochemicals from zooplankton …

The biodiversity loss of phytoplankton with eutrophication has been reported in many
aquatic ecosystems, eg, water pollution and red tides. This phenomenon seems similar, but …

Simple Summary ECA is similar to a cellular automaton that mimics the evolutionary
dynamics of species in metapopulations, simulating the underlying mechanisms of natural …
