How can we identify #coexistence in #ecology? There are at least three common approaches (structural stability, eigenvalues, and invasion), and each investigates different aspects of community dynamics (equilibria, locally stable equilibria, and global stability).
Want to learn more? See our recent review in #BiologicalReviews, where some of the leading experts from each of these sub-fields has helped assemble a practical guide for characterizing coexistence: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/brv.70079

In search of #animal #normativity: a #framework for studying #SocialNorms in non-human animals
"Proposition of a set of #constructs built around the core notion of a #normative #regularity, which we define as a socially maintained pattern of #behavioural #conformity within a community"

A #transdisciplinary view on #curiosity beyond #linguistic #humans: #animals, #infants, and #ArtificialIntelligence
"Proposition, for the first time, of how features of curiosity could be quantified and therefore studied more operationally across systems: across different species, developmental stages, and natural or artificial agents"

Understanding ‘it depends’ in #ecology: a guide to #hypothesising, #visualising and #interpreting #statistical #interactions
"Two fundamental properties of interactions are often overlooked during the process of analysing interactions between drivers: the measurement scale and the symmetry. Overlooking these properties can lead to three inferential errors"
