Diet composition is among the most important yet least understood dimensions of animal
ecology. Inspired by the study of species abundance distributions (SADs), we tested for …

Ecosystems at the land–water interface are linked through networks of species interactions
and are excellent examples of complex adaptive systems. Here, we discuss how ecological …

Food chains in the pelagic zones of oceans and lakes are longer than in terrestrial
ecosystems. The perception of the pelagic food web has become increasingly complex by …

Structural or binary approaches, based on presence‐absence of feeding links, are the most
common method of assembling food webs and form the basis of the most well explored food …

Aim To examine the combined effect of abiotic and biotic factors on species distributions in a
marine environment. Specifically, we aim to account for the effects of trophic interactions at …

Carnivores are of high ecological importance and often serve as flagship species for
conservation. Yet, the direct and indirect effects of trophic interactions and human …

Marine heatwaves have caused massive mortality in coastal benthic ecosystems, altering
community composition. Here, we aim to understand the effects of single and sequential …

The advent of metabarcoding (metaB) in aquatic ecology has provided a huge amount of
information on plankton biodiversity worldwide. However, the large datasets obtained with …

Abstract The Scotia Sea is a productive pelagic ecosystem in the Southern Ocean, which is
rapidly changing as a consequence of global warming. Species range shifts are particularly …

Marine ecosystems are exposed to multiple stressors, mainly fisheries that, whenever
mismanaged, may cause irreversible damages to whole food webs. Ecosystem models have …
