For details and more interesting results on time to extinction, and it's coefficient of variation, check out the paper!

Motivated by some very kind reviewers, we also found that when populations are surviving in a metastable state before going extinct, their dynamics can be described effectively by a much simpler OU process, which promises easier ecological inference!

We see that deterministic control parameter for survival also plays a role in stochastic version. True to the spirit of statistical physics, probability to survive for different carrying capacities collapse onto a single surface controlled by rescaled initial abundance and distance to criticality!

Landscape and Environmental Heterogeneity Support Coexistence in Competitive Metacommunities, out in PNAS - we show that habitat heterogeneity is essential for species coexistence in models of dispersing metacommunities, fostering the emergence of ecological niches
