DESCRIPTION:The feasibility principle in community ecology\n\nSerguei Saave
 dra\, MIT\n	Tuesday December 10\, 12-1pm\n	Zoom Link: https://mcgill.zoom.us
 /j/89914150820\n	In Person: 550 Sherbrooke\, Room 189\n	\n	Abstract: The stru
 cture and function of ecological communities are conceptualized as an emer
 gent outcome derived from the set of interacting populations in a given en
 vironment. However\, it has remained unclear whether common principles can
  explain the diversity of communities that we observe in nature. To addres
 s this gap\, I propose the feasibility principle in community ecology. Thi
 s principle is based on two main assumptions: (i) Every community of inter
 acting populations is feasible for a set of environmental challenges. (ii)
  Self-organization leads to communities that are feasible for the largest 
 set of local environmental challenges. I summarize how the feasibility pri
 nciple has been studied under a quantitative framework and its predictions
  have been supported by empirical data across a wide diversity of organism
 s and environmental contexts.\n
