Okie & Storch propose a theory explaining macroecological biodiversity patterns such as the latitudinal diversity gradient that addresses the role of extinction, speciation, resource availability, and the effects of biodiversity on community abundance.

Mizumoto et al. reveal that limited energy reduces termite search efficiency, but is compensated by lowering partner selectivity. They show animals can't always achieve optimal search strategies but can adjust their decision-making accordingly. https://www. journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1 086/732877
