LINCX: Linking Network structure and species CoeXistence.
SIMPLEX: Simple models that capture the complexity of multi-species
coexistence
Explora ciencia projects CGL2014-61590-EXP and
CGL2017-92436-EXP.
Researchers: Ignasi Bartomeus and Oscar Godoy
This two linked projects explore how we can add multitrophic
complexity to species coexistence models.
Lincx put forward the fundational theoretical work
(Godoy et al 2019), and tested the models with experimental (Bartomeus
et al. 2021) and observational data (Lanuza et al 2019).

SIMPLEX tries to operationalyze those models (Martin
et al 2021), make them useful (Garcia-Callejas et al 2020), and
predictive (Civantos et al 2021).
