Network analysis has been used for many years in ecological research to analyze
organismal associations, for example in food webs, plant-plant or plant-animal interactions …

Network approaches to ecological questions have been increasingly used, particularly in
recent decades. The abstraction of ecological systems–such as communities–through …

Ecological networks have a long history in ecology, and a recent increase in network
analyses across environmental gradients has revealed important changes in their structure …

Invasions of alien plants are typically studied as invasions of individual species, yet
interactions between plants and symbiotic fungi (mutualists and potential pathogens) affect …

Foundation species define ecosystems, control the biological diversity of associated
species, modulate critical ecosystem processes, and often have important cultural values …

Food webs are a major focus and organizing theme of ecology, but the data used to
assemble them are deficient. Early debates over food-web data focused on taxonomic …

Biotic interactions are fundamental drivers governing biodiversity locally, yet their effects on
geographical variation in community composition (ie incidence‐based) and community …

Fertilization and rhizosphere selection are key regulators for soil nitrogen (N) cycling and
microbiome. Thus, clarifying how the overall N cycling processes and soil microbiome …

Ecological network analysis (ENA) provides a mechanistic framework for describing
complex species interactions, quantifying ecosystem services, and examining the impacts of …

Biological interactions are key drivers of ecological and evolutionary processes. The
complexity of such interactions hinders our understanding of ecological systems and our …
