Network ecology is an emerging field that allows researchers to conceptualize and analyse
ecological networks and their dynamics. Here, we focus on the dynamics of ecological …

Ecological networks of species interactions are popular and provide powerful analytical
tools for understanding variation in community structure and ecosystem functioning …

Ecological niche differences are necessary for stable species coexistence but are often
difficult to discern. Models of dietary niche differentiation in large mammalian herbivores …

A growing literature considers the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a interlinked
network, connected by co-benefits and trade-offs between pairs of SDGs. Such network …

Large mammalian carnivores have undergone catastrophic declines during the
Anthropocene across the world. Despite their pivotal roles as apex predators in food webs …

Globally, massive carnivore guild extirpations have led to trophic downgrading and
compromised ecosystem services. However, the complexity of multi-carnivore food webs …

Sympatric large mammalian herbivore species differ in diet composition, both by eating
different parts of the same plant and by eating different plant species. Various theories …

Dietary DNA metabarcoding enables researchers to identify and characterize trophic
interactions with a high degree of taxonomic precision. It is also sensitive to sources of bias …

Functional traits are useful for characterizing variation in community and ecosystem
dynamics. Most advances in trait‐based ecology to date centre on plant functional traits …

Despite criticisms, the umbrella species concept remains a fundamental conservation tool
for protecting biodiversity in the face of global change, yet it is rarely tested. Food web theory …
