Tank bromeliads are prominent and distinctive components of many Neotropical forests.
Functionally important for the plants themselves these phytotelms also represent important …

Warming is among the major drivers of changes in biotic interactions and, in turn, ecosystem
functioning. The decomposition process occurs in a chain of facilitative interactions between …

Aquatic ecosystems are tightly linked to terrestrial ecosystems by exchanges of resources,
which influence species interactions, community dynamics and functioning in both …

The interspecific interactions within and between adjacent ecosystems strongly depend on
the changes in their abiotic and biotic components. However, little is known about how …

Trophic interactions are at the core of several key ecological processes and theories as they
determine the flow of material and energy within and across communities and habitats …

Anthropogenic activities increase pesticide contamination and biological invasions in
freshwater ecosystems. Understanding their combined effects on community structure and …

Simple Summary Ecosystems are affected by multiple stressors, which interact in ways that
can be difficult to predict. Stressors such as climate warming and introductions of non-native …

Little is known of how Neotropical freshwater ecosystems will respond to future climate
scenarios. In Neotropical rainforests, a substantial fraction of the freshwater available to the …

Bromeliads harbour a great diversity of fauna species. The epiphytic habit of bromeliads is
subject to higher temperatures and higher incidence of light than is the epigeic habit, so we …

Cropland ecosystem functioning may be affected by human perturbations transmitted from
adjacent ecosystems, such as freshwater systems. However, our limited knowledge of the …
