When Do Trait‐Based Higher Order Interactions and Individual Variation Promote Robust Species Coexistence? by Gaurav Baruah, György Barabás, Robert John

“…In addition, we find that (i) communities structured by competitive trait hierarchies are highly vulnerable to external perturbations, regardless of HOIs, and (ii) trait‐based HOIs with distance‐dependent competition create the most robust communities, with minimal impact from individual variation, and (iii) both individual variation and HOIs consistently lead to a more even distribution of species traits than would occur by chance. …”
