Numerical Study of Interaction Network Structures in Competitive Ecosystems
We present a numerical analysis of local community assembly through weak migration from a regional species pool. At equilibrium, the local community consists of a subset ("clique") of species from the regional community. Our analysis reveals that the interaction networks of these cliques exhibit nontrivial architectures. Specifically, we demonstrate the pronounced nested structure of the clique interaction matrix in the case of symmetric interactions and the hyperuniform structure seen in asymmetric communities.

On the stability of competitive ecological communities with pairwise and higher-order interactions
Ecological communities intrigue researchers seeking to explain the emergence of biodiversity observed in nature. This raises a fundamental question. What sustains the stability and coexistence of species within these eco…
Diverse communities behave like typical random ecosystems
In 1972, Robert May triggered a worldwide research program studying ecological communities using random matrix theory. Yet, it remains unclear if and when we can treat real communities as random ecosystems. Here, we draw…
Breaking Algorithmic Collusion in Human-AI Ecosystems
AI agents are increasingly deployed in ecosystems where they repeatedly interact not only with each other but also with humans. In this work, we study these human-AI ecosystems from a theoretical perspective, focusing on…
A universal niche geometry governs the response of ecosystems to environmental perturbations
How ecosystems respond to environmental perturbations is a fundamental question in ecology, made especially challenging due to the strong coupling between species and their environment. Here, we introduce a theoretical f…
Structured interactions as a stabilizing mechanism for competitive ecosystems
How large ecosystems can create and maintain the remarkable biodiversity we see in nature is probably one of the biggest open questions in science, attracting attention from different fields, from Theoretical Ecology to …
