Ecosystems are rapidly degraded by anthropogenic pressures, affecting the provision of
ecosystem services. Therefore, it is increasingly important that we can quantify and manage …

Vegetation, as a crucial carbon sink, is facing extensive degradation under the mounting
pressures of urbanization and excessive resource exploitation, exacerbating the imbalance …

Large collections of freely available food webs are commonly reused by researchers to infer
how biological or environmental factors influence the structure of ecological communities …

Characterizing and understanding the processes that shape the structure of ecological
networks, which represent who interacts with whom in a community, has many implications …

Aim Climate and land use change can independently affect food web structure. However,
their direct and indirect relationships with food webs are not well‐understood. This is …

Comparative studies suggest remarkable similarities among food webs across habitats,
including systematic changes in their structure with diversity and complexity (scale …

We investigated the distance-decay pattern (an increase in dissimilarity with increasing
geographic distance) in regional assemblages of fleas and their small mammalian hosts, as …

Species-level networks emerge as the combination of interactions spanning multiple
individuals, and their study has received considerable attention over the past 30 y. However …

Functional diversity is the heterogeneity in the functional roles of organisms in an
ecosystem. Because the morphological traits of species dictate their functional roles …

Networks are a powerful way to represent the complexity of complex ecological systems.
However, most ecological networks are incompletely observed, eg, food webs typically …
