Dr. Mallarie Yeager joins to discuss her 2020 Ecology paper, Predicting the stability of multitrophic communities in a variable world. In doing so, we discuss island biogeography theory, the relationship between diversity and stability, and the need to consider community composition - not just species diversity - when assessing stability.
Dr. Lauren Sullivan joins to discuss a paper she published in Ecology in 2019 with her co-first author Dr. Lauren Shoemaker: Integrating the underlying structure of stochasticity into community ecology.
