Body size determines a host of species traits that can affect the structure and dynamics of
food webs, and other ecological networks, across multiple scales of organization. Measuring …

Given the unprecedented rate of species extinctions facing the planet, understanding the
causes and consequences of species diversity in ecosystems is of paramount importance …

Arranging organisms into functional groups aids ecological research by grouping organisms
(irrespective of phylogenetic origin) that interact with environmental factors in similar ways …

Predator–prey interactions in natural ecosystems generate complex food webs that have a
simple universal body-size architecture where predators are systematically larger than their …

The cycles of the key nutrient elements nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) have been
massively altered by anthropogenic activities. Thus, it is essential to understand how …

We review the effects of fishing on benthic fauna, habitat, diversity, community structure and
trophic interactions in tropical, temperate and polar marine environments and consider …

Food webs in nature have multiple, reticulate connections between a diversity of consumers
and resources. Such complexity affects web dynamics: it first spreads the direct effects of …

The first photographs of the Earth to be taken from outer space are said to have had a
