I’m very excited to say that the paper “Breaking down the components of the competition‐colonization trade‐off: new insights into its role in diverse systems” (Ferzoco & McCauley) has been accepted by the Journal of Animal Ecology.  This paper explores how the competition-colonization trade-off has been tested and how more carefully defining what we’re measuring in terms of competitive dominance, and more explicitly considering the mode of dispersal, will improve our ability to make generalizations about the role of c-c trade-offs in facilitating species co-existence.  Congratulations Ilia on this exciting new paper.
