In structured populations, persistence under environmental change may be particularly
threatened when abiotic factors simultaneously negatively affect survival and reproduction of …

The impact of damming on river ecosystems has received increasing attention, but a
comprehensive understanding of the occurrence, drivers and exposure risks of microplastic …

Complex networks of species interactions might be determined by species traits but also by
simple chance meetings governed by species abundances. Although the idea that species …

Quantifying the vulnerability of ecosystems to global change requires a better understanding
of how trophic ecosystem functions emerge. So far, trophic ecosystem functions have been …

Aim We aim to characterize the macroecological patterns in the structure of mutualistic seed‐
dispersal networks. Tropical areas hold more species than temperate ones. This difference …

Interactions between species are influenced by different ecological mechanisms, such as
morphological matching, phenological overlap and species abundances. How these …

Food web structure influences ecosystem functioning and the strength and stability of
associated ecosystem services. With their broad diet, generalist predators represent key …

Despite the importance and increasing knowledge of ecological networks, sampling effort
and intrapopulation variation has been widely overlooked. Using continuous daily sampling …

Extrafloral nectar (EFN) is a predictable and renewable resource for many ant colonies, and
different ant species compete strongly to obtain and monopolize this highly nutritious food …

Associational resistance (AR) is a positive interaction in which a plant suffers less herbivore
damage due to its association with a protective plant. Here, we evaluated whether plants …
