Global change affects ecosystem functioning both directly by modifications in
physicochemical processes, and indirectly, via changes in biotic metabolism and …

Local habitat size has been shown to influence colonization and extinction processes of
species in patchy environments. However, species differ in body size, mobility, and trophic …

Costa Rica alberga una biodiversidad extraordinaria y se encuentra afortunadamente entre
los países neotropicales mejor estudiados. Los insectos representan el grupo más diverso …

Water pollution is one of the foremost environmental issues to deal with worldwide. Heavy
metal remediation from water bodies is of particular concern as it persists in environment …

Species interactions can be important mediators of community and ecosystem responses to
environmental stressors. However, we still lack a mechanistic understanding of the indirect …

Species and trophic richness often increase with habitat size. Although many ecological
processes have been evoked to explain both patterns, the environmental stress associated …

Predators can have dramatic effects on food web structure and ecosystem processes.
However, the total effect of predators will be a combination of prey removal due to …

In many aquatic ecosystems, detritus is the main basal resource and is able to support
highly productive food webs. However, detritus is a relatively poor‐quality resource …

Stochastic ecological network occupancy (SENO) models predict the probability that species
will occur in a sample of an ecological network. In this review, we introduce SENO models …

The primary goal of this study was to evaluate the relative importance of habitat physical
properties, bottom-up and top-down factors, and their interaction on algae biomass in tank …
