Why don't predators have positive effects on prey populations?
TL;DR: Possible reasons for the rarity of positive effects in previous predator-manipulation studies include the short-term nature of experiments, the large magnitudes of predator density manipulation, and various sources of bias in choice of system and interpretation of results.

Vegetation and soil recovery on gypsum outcrops in semi-arid Spain
Elías D. Dana,Juan F. Mota +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the successional plant and soil dynamics on abandoned gypsum quarries were studied, using the chronosequences approach covering a time span of 70 years.

Effects of habitat characteristics and interspecific interactions on co-occurrence patterns of saproxylic beetles breeding in tree boles after forest fire: null model analyses
TL;DR: The results suggest that an intimate link between habitat and interspecific interactions can have important roles for community assembly of saproxylic assemblages even following disturbance by fire, and shows that a systematic application of null models can offer insight into the mechanisms behind the assembly of ecological communities.

Community assembly from the local species pool: an experimental study using congeneric species pairs
TL;DR: Comparing the performance of congeneric species introduced into a grassland community indicates that the study community bears the strong imprint of dispersal limitation or other historical factors, a finding consistent with results previously obtained for the same community using a trait-based model.

TL;DR: In evaluating the top-down selection pressures that are exerted on a microbiome the authors find cause to warrant reconsideration of the much-maligned theory of multi-level selection and reason that complexity must be underscored by modularity.
