Forest management can affect both the functioning and stability of ecosystems. Constancy
and persistence are key factors that contribute to the overall stability of an ecosystem. These …

Interactions between species within an ecosystem (eg predation and herbivory) play a vital
role in sustaining the ecosystem functionality, which includes aspects like pest control and …

Aim Global‐scale studies are necessary to draw general conclusions on how trophic
interactions vary with urbanization and to explore how the effects of urbanization change …

Parasite infections are increasingly reported to change the microbiome of the parasitized
hosts, while parasites bring their own microbes to what can be a multi-dimensional …

The direction and strength of selection for prey colouration by predators vary in space and
time and depend on the composition of the predator community. We tested the hypothesis …

The impact of multitrophic interactions on metacommunity structure, despite extensive theory
and modeling/manipulative studies, has remained largely unexplored within naturally …

Aim Long‐standing theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions increases from high
to low latitudes. Studies addressing geographic variation in predation on insect prey have …

Sporadic large outbreaks of herbivorous insects alter forest ecosystems via a top-down
effect, and a high frequency of outbreaks led to the death of the trees on which the insects …

Many predatory arthropods occur naturally in turfgrass, and they provide adequate control of
lepidopteran pests, such as fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (JE Smith)(Lepidoptera …

To avoid predation by visual predators, caterpillars can be cryptic to decrease detectability
or aposematic to warn predators of potential unpalatability. However, for some species, it is …
