Ecological patterns are determined by the interplay between abiotic factors and interactions
among species. As the Earth's climate warms, interactions such as competition, predation …

Ecologists have historically represented consumer–resource interactions with boxes and
arrows. A key assumption of this conceptualization is that all individuals inside a box are …

Predators can initiate trophic cascades by consuming and/or scaring their prey. Although
both forms of predator effect can increase the overall abundance of prey's resources …

Long‐term ecological data sets present opportunities for identifying drivers of community
dynamics and quantifying their effects through time series analysis. Multivariate …

In many temperate regions, brown macroalgae fulfil essential ecosystem services such as
the provision of structure, the fixation of nutrients and carbon, and the production of biomass …

The escalating occurrence of toxic cyanobacterial blooms worldwide is a matter of concern.
Global warming and eutrophication play a major role in the regularity of cyanobacterial …

The metacommunity concept provides a spatial perspective on community dynamics, and
the landscape provides the physical template for a metacommunity. Several aspects of …

In simple, linear food chains, top predators can have positive indirect effects on basal
resources by causing changes in the traits (eg behaviour, feeding rates) of intermediate …

Floral nectar sugar composition is assumed to reflect the nutritional demands and foraging
behaviour of pollinators, but the relative contributions of evolutionary and abiotic factors to …

Studying soundscapes to improve knowledge about an environment with limited visibility is
gaining popularity. However, the structure and drivers of biological sounds remain poorly …
