    The dominant–egalitarian transition in species-rich communities

    David A Kessler, Nadav M Shnerb
    A model of a species-rich neutral ecosystem, perturbed by environmental noise impacting each species differently, predicts that for large noise the community is dominated by a few species, while for weaker noise it is more egalitarian, with many significant species.

    Camille Le Roy, Nina Tervelde ... Florian T Muijres
    Small hoverflies compensate for size-related flight challenges through evolutionary changes in wing shape rather than altered wingbeat kinematics.
