Whereas early ecological ideas and classic observations suggested that stability increases with diversity, ecological theory makes the opposite prediction, leading to the long-standing“diversity-stability debate.”Here, we show that this puzzle can be resolved if growth scales as a sublinear power law with biomass (exponent &lt;1), exhibiting a form of population self-regulation analogous to models of individual ontogeny. We show that competitive interactions among populations with sublinear growth do not lead to exclusion, as occurs with logistic growth, but instead &nbsp;at higher diversity. Our model realigns theory with classic observations and predicts large-scale macroecological patterns. However, it makes an unsettling prediction: Biodiversity loss may accelerate the destabilization of ecosystems.","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"Diversity begets stability: Sublinear growth and competitive coexistence across ecosystems","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-05-17 01:34:34.502263","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":null,"OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2024,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2024-03-11","DateCreate":"2024-03-11","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":null,"VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1126/science.adg8488"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":391020,"PubliDate":2024,"Pagination":"eadg8488","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"383","Issue":"6688","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":43776,"SerRR":"Science (Washington).
