Doing so, we answer questions first introduced in doi.org/10.1016/j.ce... through a systematic exploration of sign patterns in the associated oriented matroids. The Maple implemtation of this algorithm is available at git.mpi-cbg.de/scholten/fea...

We prove certain 4-species ecological networks cannot achieve stable coexistence, no matter the parameters. The proof uses combinatorial insights from oriented matroid theory to study feasibility/stability constraints algorithmically 🔍

How do you know if species can coexist? The feasible-stable equilibria of Lotka-Volterra systems form semialgebraic sets in parameter space. We recast this using Plücker coordinates & the Grassmannian - opening new computational approaches to ecological networks.

New preprint: We study Lotka-Volterra ecological dynamics through computational algebraic geometry. By encoding feasibility & stability on the real Grassmannian, we prove certain ecological networks are mathematically impossible 🧮🌿 arxiv.org/abs/2509.00165

‘We expect a response from everyone in the world who has called for peace’ Russian strike on Kyiv kills children as missile tears through apartment building — Meduza Russian forces launched a massive overnight strike on Kyiv on August 28, killing at least 17 people and injuring dozens more, Ukrainian officials and emergency services said. One of the missiles hit…

Seventeen people have already been confirmed killed in Russia’s massive overnight strike on Kyiv, as rescue workers continue searching the rubble. See the aftermath of Moscow’s deadly assault on Ukraine’s capital.
