Although spatial variability in distributions of soil organisms is generally regarded as random
noise, this variability often has a predictable spatial structure. Recent studies have provided …

Intraguild predation is thought to be ubiquitous in natural food webs. Yet, theory on intraguild
predation predicts the intraguild prey to persist only under limited conditions. This gap …

Because some native ungulates have lived without top predators for generations, it has
been uncertain whether runaway predation would occur when predators are newly restored …

Fragmented populations possess an intriguing duplicity: even if subpopulations are reliably
extinction-prone, asynchrony in local extinctions and recolonizations makes global …
