Biotic interactions are widely recognised as the backbone of ecological communities, but
how best to study them is a subject of intense debate, especially at macro‐ecological scales …

Food webs represent trophic interactions within ecosystems. Matching traits of consumers
and resources helps infer trophic interactions and food-web properties. Environmental (e) …

Temperature and biodiversity changes occur in concert, but their joint effects on ecological
stability of natural food webs are unknown. Here, we assess these relationships in 19 …

The relationship between diversity and stability is a focus in community ecology, but the
relevant hypotheses have not been rigorously tested at trophic and network levels due to a …

A tenet of ecology is that temporal variability in ecological structure and processes tends to
decrease with increasing spatial scales (from locales to regions) and levels of biological …

The biodiversity-stability relationship is a fundamental subject of ecological research.
Considerable evidence demonstrates that biodiversity can either increase or decrease …

Demersal fisheries are one of the top anthropic stressors in marine environments. In the long
term, some species are more vulnerable to fishery impacts than others, which can lead to …

Diversity and interspecific synchrony are among the main drivers behind the temporal
stability of community abundance. Diversity can increase stability through the portfolio effect …

Nutrient enrichment and climate warming threaten freshwater systems. Metabolic theory and
the paradox of enrichment predict that both stressors independently can lead to simpler food …

The landscape theory of food web architecture (LTFWA) describes relationships among
body size, trophic position, mobility, and energy channels that serve to couple heterogenous …
