Complexity and stability of ecological networks: a review of the theory

P Landi, HO Minoarivelo, Å Brännström, C Hui… - Population ecology, 2018‏ - Springer
Our planet is changing at paces never observed before. Species extinction is happening at
faster rates than ever, greatly exceeding the five mass extinctions in the fossil record …

Impacts of invasive species on food webs: a review of empirical data

P David, E Thebault, O Anneville, PF Duyck… - Advances in ecological …, 2017‏ - Elsevier
We review empirical studies on how bioinvasions alter food webs and how a food-web
perspective may change their prediction and management. Predation is found to underlie …

Defining invasiveness and invasibility in ecological networks

C Hui, DM Richardson, P Landi, HO Minoarivelo… - Biological …, 2016‏ - Springer
The success of a biological invasion is context dependent, and yet two key concepts—the
invasiveness of species and the invasibility of recipient ecosystems—are often defined and …

The hitchhiker's guide to adaptive dynamics

Å Brännström, J Johansson, N Von Festenberg - Games, 2013‏ - mdpi.com
Adaptive dynamics is a mathematical framework for studying evolution. It extends
evolutionary game theory to account for more realistic ecological dynamics and it can …

A network perspective for community assembly

LC Ponisio, FS Valdovinos, KT Allhoff… - Frontiers in Ecology …, 2019‏ - frontiersin.org
Species interactions are responsible for many key mechanisms that govern the dynamics of
ecological communities. Variation in the way interactions are organized among species …

Evolutionary plant–pollinator responses to anthropogenic land‐use change: impacts on ecosystem services

M Pontarp, A Runemark, M Friberg… - Biological …, 2024‏ - Wiley Online Library
Agricultural intensification at field and landscape scales, including increased use of
agrochemicals and loss of semi‐natural habitats, is a major driver of insect declines and …

Evolutionary food web model based on body masses gives realistic networks with permanent species turnover

KT Allhoff, D Ritterskamp, BC Rall, B Drossel, C Guill - Scientific reports, 2015‏ - nature.com
The networks of predator-prey interactions in ecological systems are remarkably complex,
but nevertheless surprisingly stable in terms of long term persistence of the system as a …

Connecting the green and brown worlds: allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above-and below-ground networks

C Mulder, FS Ahrestani, M Bahn, DA Bohan… - Advances in Ecological …, 2013‏ - Elsevier
We examine the potential of trait-based parameters of taxa for linking above-and below-
ground ecological networks (hereafter 'green'and 'brown'worlds) to understand and predict …

Trait positions for elevated invasiveness in adaptive ecological networks

C Hui, DM Richardson, P Landi, HO Minoarivelo… - Biological …, 2021‏ - Springer
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 …

Evolutionary stability of jointly evolving traits in subdivided populations

C Mullon, L Keller, L Lehmann - The American Naturalist, 2016‏ - journals.uchicago.edu
The evolutionary stability of quantitative traits depends on whether a population can resist
invasion by any mutant. While uninvadability is well understood in well-mixed populations, it …
