Energy and biomass distribution in soil food webs of temperate and tropical forests [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSoil food webs channel most of the energy in terrestrial ecosystems. Temperate and tropical forests host different soil invertebrate communities, but consequent differences in the structure and functioning of soil food webs between these major biomes ...

Predicting missing links in food webs using stacked models and species traits [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsNetworks are a powerful way to represent the complexity of large ecological systems. However, most ecological networks, such as food webs, contain only partial lists of species interactions.

Isotopic evidence for the spatial heterogeneity of the planktonic food webs in the transition zone between river and lake ecosystems [PDF]
PeerJ, 2013 Resources and organisms in food webs are distributed patchily. The spatial structure of food webs is important and critical to understanding their overall structure.

Local stability properties of complex, species‐rich soil food webs with functional block structure
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Ecologists have long debated the properties that confer stability to complex, species‐rich ecological networks. Species‐level soil food webs are large and structured networks of central importance to ecosystem functioning.

What's in a tide pool? Just as much food web network complexity as in large open ecosystems.
PLoS ONE, 2018 Understanding the fundamental laws that govern complex food web networks over large ecosystems presents high costs and oftentimes unsurmountable logistical challenges.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Understanding food webs environmental condition is a challenging task since evaluations are limited by data on key ecosystem elements, by the availability of indicators that incorporate relevant guilds and by the difficulty in establishing cause-effect ...

Ecology, 2004 Both dynamic and topologic approaches in food webs have shown how structure alters conditions for stability. However, while most studies concerning the structure of food webs have shown a nonrandom pattern, it still remains unclear how this structure is related to compartmentalization and to responses to perturbations.

The impact of 850,000 years of climate changes on the structure and dynamics of mammal food webs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Most evidence of climate change impacts on food webs comes from modern studies and little is known about how ancient food webs have responded to climate changes in the past. Here, we integrate fossil evidence from 71 fossil sites, body-size relationships

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019 Threatened freshwater ecosystems urgently require improved tools for effective management. Food web analysis is currently under-utilized, yet can be used to generate metrics to support biomonitoring assessments by measuring the stability and robustness ...
