Reliance on blue, green, and brown energy channels drives a shift in the trophic position of riparian spiders. [PDF]
EcologyAbstract Understanding the mechanisms shaping food chain length (FCL) has long been central to food web ecology. FCL is a key determinant of stability, energy flow efficiency, and biodiversity maintenance, but there is an ongoing debate about its underlying drivers.

Globally invariant metabolism but density-diversity mismatch in springtails
Nature Communications, 2023 Springtails are omnipresent soil arthropods, vital for ecosystems. In the first global assessment of springtails, this study shows a 20-fold biomass difference between the tundra and the tropics, with distinct temperature-related patterns for diversity ...
