Interactions connect the units of ecological systems, forming networks. Individual-based
networks characterize variation in niches among individuals within populations. These …

Climate change is altering ecological and evolutionary processes across biological scales.
These simultaneous effects of climate change pose a major challenge for predicting the …

Our ability to predict the outcome of invasion declines rapidly as non-native species
progress through intertwined ecological barriers to establish and spread in recipient …

Understanding how food webs will respond to globally rising temperatures is a pressing
issue. Temperature effects on food webs are likely underpinned by differences in the thermal …

Gleaners and exploiters (opportunists) are organisms adapted to feeding in nutritionally
poor and rich environments, respectively. A trade-off between these two strategies—a …

The trophic structure of food webs is primarily determined by the variation in trophic position
among species and individuals. Temporal dynamics of food web structure are central to our …

Coexistence and food web theory are two cornerstones of the long‐standing effort to
understand how species coexist. Although competition and predation are known to act …

Body size is a fundamental trait linked to many ecological processes—from individuals to
ecosystems. Although the effects of body size on metabolism are well‐known, the potential …

Phenotypic trait differences among populations can shape ecological outcomes for
communities and ecosystems. However, few studies have mechanistically linked heritable …

Prudent predators catch sufficient prey to sustain their populations but not as much as to
undermine their populations' survival. The idea that predators evolve to be prudent has been …
