Pioneering investigations on the effects of introduced populations on community structure,
ecosystem functioning and services have focused on the effects of invaders on taxonomic …

Networks of species interactions underpin numerous ecosystem processes, but
comprehensively sampling these interactions is difficult. Interactions intrinsically vary across …

Soils harbor a substantial fraction of the world's biodiversity, contributing to many crucial
ecosystem functions. It is thus essential to identify general macroecological patterns related …

Abstract Knowledge about the size of environmental DNA (eDNA) and eDNA‐bearing
particles in aquatic environments is integral to efficient and sensitive analyses. To explore …

Ecological networks are increasingly studied at large spatial scales, expanding their focus
from a conceptual tool for community ecology into one that also addresses questions in …

A reanalysis is a physically consistent set of optimally merged simulated model states and
historical observational data, using data assimilation. High computational costs for modeled …

Freshwaters face multiple environmental problems including eutrophication, acidification,
salinization, and climate-change, all of which can lead to impairment of ecosystem structure …

Groundwater comprises the largest freshwater ecosystem on the planet. It has a distinct
regime of extreme, yet stable environmental conditions that have favoured the development …

Global biodiversity loss is unprecedented, and threats to existing biodiversity are growing.
Given pervasive global change, a major challenge facing resource managers is a lack of …

The taxonomic identification of organisms based on the amplification of specific genetic
markers (metabarcoding) implicitly requires adequate discriminatory information and …
