In an era of ecosystem degradation and climate change, maximizing microbial functions in
agroecosystems has become a prerequisite for the future of global agriculture. However …

Multiple large-scale restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract ecosystem
degradation and biodiversity loss. However, restoration often remains insufficient to offset …

Unravelling the relationships between network complexity and stability under changing
climate is a challenging topic in theoretical ecology that remains understudied in the field of …

Urbanization is changing Earth's ecosystems by altering the interactions and feedbacks
between the fundamental ecological and evolutionary processes that maintain life. Humans …

Social insect colonies have evolved many collectively performed adaptations that reduce the
impact of infectious disease and that are expected to maximize their fitness. This colony …

Metacommunity ecology combines local (eg, environmental filtering and biotic interactions)
and regional (eg, dispersal and heterogeneity) processes to understand patterns of species …

A major unresolved question is how bacteria living in complex communities respond to
environmental changes. In communities, biotic interactions may either facilitate or constrain …

Eco-evolutionary dynamics are essential in shaping the biological response of communities
to ongoing climate change. Here we develop a spatially explicit eco-evolutionary framework …

Background High throughput sequencing has revolutionized microbial ecology. We now
have the ability to characterize both prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbial communities more …

In nature, entangled webs of predator–prey interactions constitute the backbones of
ecosystems. Uncovering the network architecture of such trophic interactions has been …
