Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

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

Networks (or graphs) appear as dominant structures in diverse domains, including
sociology, biology, neuroscience and computer science. In most of the aforementioned …

The diversity of life is ultimately generated by evolution, and much attention has focused on
the rapid evolution of ecological traits. Yet, the tendency for many ecological traits to instead …

Recent work has shown that antagonist (eg predator–prey food web) and mutualist (eg
pollinator–plant) network structure can be altered by global environmental change drivers …

It has recently been noted that empirical food webs are significantly compartmentalized; that
is, subsets of species exist that interact more frequently among themselves than with other …

Climate-driven poleward shifts, leading to changes in species composition and relative
abundances, have been recently documented in the Arctic. Among the fastest moving …

Chaotic dynamics are thought to be rare in natural populations but this may be due to
methodological and data limitations, rather than the inherent stability of ecosystems …

Ecological networks depict the interactions between species, mainly based on observations
in the field. The information contained in such interaction matrices depends on the sampling …

Ecophylogenetics can be viewed as an emerging fusion of ecology, biogeography and
macroevolution. This new and fast‐growing field is promoting the incorporation of evolution …
