Although networks provide a powerful approach to study a large variety of ecological
systems, their formulation does not typically account for multiple interaction types …

Biological invasions into wholly new regions are a consequence of a far reaching but
underappreciated component of global environmental change, the human-caused …

The influence of biotic interactions on microbial community assembly is intensely debated.
We hypothesized that keystone taxa, which influence community assembly through strong …

We describe the draft genome of the microcrustacean Daphnia pulex, which is only 200
megabases and contains at least 30,907 genes. The high gene count is a consequence of …

Biological invasions are numerous in fresh waters around the world. At least hundreds of
freshwater species have been moved outside of their native ranges by vectors such as …

Humans are altering the composition of biological communities through a variety of activities
that increase rates of species invasions and species extinctions, at all scales, from local to …

Interactions between organisms are a major determinant of the distribution and abundance
of species. Ecology textbooks (eg, Ricklefs 1984, Krebs 1985, Begon et al. 1990) summarise …

Resilience is the magnitude of disturbance that can be tolerated before a socioecological
system (SES) moves to a different region of state space controlled by a different set of …

Humans are modifying both the identities and numbers of species in ecosystems, but the
impacts of such changes on ecosystem processes are controversial. Plant species diversity …

Ecology of Shallow Lakes brings together current understanding of the mechanisms that
drive the diametrically opposite states of water clarity, shown by the cover paintings, found in …
