The number of network science applications across many different fields has been rapidly
increasing. Surprisingly, the development of theory and domain-specific applications often …

Our planet is changing at paces never observed before. Species extinction is happening at
faster rates than ever, greatly exceeding the five mass extinctions in the fossil record …

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 …

From tropical forests to gut microbiomes, ecological communities host notably high numbers
of coexisting species. Beyond high biodiversity, communities exhibit a range of complex …

Here we build on the manifesto 'World Scientists' Warning to Humanity, issued by the
Alliance of World Scientists. As a group of conservation biologists deeply concerned about …

The tremendous diversity of species in ecological communities has motivated a century of
research into the mechanisms that maintain biodiversity. However, much of this work …

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

Sponges (phylum Porifera) are early-diverging metazoa renowned for establishing complex
microbial symbioses. Here we present a global Porifera microbiome survey, set out to …

Ecological networks have a long history in ecology, and a recent increase in network
analyses across environmental gradients has revealed important changes in their structure …

The honeybee is the primary managed species worldwide for both crop pollination and
honey production. Owing to beekeeping activity, its high relative abundance potentially …
