Globally, soils store two to three times as much carbon as currently resides in the
atmosphere, and it is critical to understand how soil greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and …

European honey bees have been introduced across the globe and may compete with native
bees for floral resources. Compounding effects of urbanization and introduced species on …

Explaining nature's biodiversity is a key challenge for science. To persist, populations must
be able to grow faster when rare, a feature called negative frequency dependence and …

In modern coexistence theory, species coexistence can either arise via strong niche
differences or weak fitness differences. Having a common currency for interpreting these …

Nanoscale zero-valent iron (nZVI) is a prominent nanomaterial for the remediation of
organochlorine-contaminated soil and groundwater. However, a knowledge gap regarding …

The coexistence of many species within ecological communities poses a long‐standing
theoretical puzzle. Modern coexistence theory (MCT) and related techniques explore this …

Selection and drift are universally accepted as the cornerstones of evolutionary changes.
Recent theories extend this view to ecological changes, arguing that any change in species …

Ecological communities encompass rich diversity across multiple trophic levels. While
modern coexistence theory has been widely applied to understand community assembly, its …

One hotspot of present community ecology is to uncover the mechanisms of community
succession. In this study, two popular concepts, niche‐neutrality dynamic balancing and co …

Climate change and anthropogenic disturbances are known to influence soil biodiversity.
The objectives of this study were to compare the community composition, species …
