The global biodiversity crisis concerns not only unprecedented loss of species within
communities, but also related consequences for ecosystem function. Community ecology …

Inferring biotic interactions from functional, phylogenetic and geographical proxies remains
one great challenge in ecology. We propose a conceptual framework to infer the backbone …

Despite the important roles of soil microbes, especially the most diverse rare taxa in
maintaining community diversity and multifunctionality, how different climate regimes alter …

This book deals with the analysis of the structure of complex networks by combining results
from graph theory, physics, and pattern recognition. The book is divided into two parts. 11 …

Community ecology is tasked with the considerable challenge of predicting the structure,
and properties, of emerging ecosystems. It requires the ability to understand how and why …

Global warming and ocean acidification are forecast to exert significant impacts on marine
ecosystems worldwide. However, most of these projections are based on ecological proxies …

Environmental temperature has systematic effects on rates of species interactions, primarily
through its influence on organismal physiology. We present a mechanistic model for the …

Biodiversity is organised into complex ecological networks of interacting species in local
ecosystems, but our knowledge about the effects of habitat fragmentation on such systems …

Existing methods to predict the effects of climate change on the biomass and production of
marine communities are predicated on modelling the interactions and dynamics of individual …

While average temperature is likely to increase in most locations on Earth, many places will
simultaneously experience higher variability in temperature, precipitation, and other climate …
