The relationship between food‐web structure (ie, trophic connections, including diet, trophic
position, and habitat use, and the strength of these connections) and ecosystem functions …

One challenge in merging community and ecosystem ecology is to integrate the complexity
of natural multitrophic communities into concepts of ecosystem functioning. Here, we …

The increased frequency of publications concerning trophic ecology of coral reefs suggests
a degree of interest in the role species and functional groups play in energy flow within …

Diversity patterns can show congruence across taxonomic groups. Consistent diversity
patterns allow the identification of indicator surrogates potentially representative of …

The biodiversity of food webs is composed of horizontal (ie within trophic levels) and vertical
diversity (ie the number of trophic levels). Understanding their joint effect on stability is a key …

Habitat loss (HL) affects species and their interactions, ultimately altering community
dynamics. Yet, a challenge for community ecology is to understand how communities with …

Well‐intentioned environmental management can backfire, causing unforeseen damage. To
avoid this, managers and ecologists seek accurate predictions of the ecosystem‐wide …

The complexity of an ecological community can be distilled into a network, where diverse
interactions connect species in a web of dependencies. Species interact directly with each …

The species–area relationship (SAR) is one of the most well‐established scaling patterns in
ecology. Its implications for understanding how communities change across spatial …

Human land-use intensification threatens arthropod (for example, insect and spider)
biodiversity across aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. Insects and spiders play critical roles …
