Our planet is changing at paces never observed before. Species extinction is happening at
faster rates than ever, greatly exceeding the five mass extinctions in the fossil record …

In the run-up to the recent financial crisis, an increasingly elaborate set of financial
instruments emerged, intended to optimize returns to individual institutions with seemingly …

Increasingly, scholars recognize the importance of understanding supply network
disruptions. However, the literature still lacks a clear conceptualization of a network-level …

Human-driven threats are changing biodiversity, impacting ecosystem services. The loss of
one species can trigger secondary extinctions of additional species, because species …

This book deals with the analysis of the structure of complex networks by combining results
from graph theory, physics, and pattern recognition. The book is divided into two parts. 11 …

We conducted one of the first studies to integrate the quantification and characterization of
microplastics (MPs), including fibers, in different habitats (sea surface, seafloor and beach …

Knowledge of species composition and their interactions, in the form of interaction networks,
is required to understand processes shaping their distribution over time and space. As such …

Ecologists and evolutionary biologists are increasingly using big-data approaches to tackle
questions at large spatial, taxonomic, and temporal scales. However, despite recent efforts …

Climate-driven poleward shifts, leading to changes in species composition and relative
abundances, have been recently documented in the Arctic. Among the fastest moving …

We argue that globalization is a central feature of coupled human–environment systems or,
as we call them, socio-ecological systems (SESs). In this article, we focus on the effects of …
