Article submitted just in time for the holidays … 🤞 ! Its our homage to the heritage of R May in #ecologicaltheory /We’ve used the ideas of GF Gause and his #CompetitiveExclusion #model to calculate phase portraits of 2 species in competition and then explore if #AlternateStable states theory (the famous #tippingpoints) has any applications in real world ecosystems. Our results were surprisingly clear…

Our latest preprint finds, contrary to past work, that the #R*theory of #ecology is not robust to #InterferenceCompetition. https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2023.09.27.559600v1 #GameTheory #CompetitiveExclusion #CoexistenceTheory #CommunityEcology @DanielSmithEcoEvo 1/8
