Global change challenges the adaptive potential of forests. Large-scale alterations of forest
canopies have been reported across Europe, and further modifications are expected in …

Insects and other arthropods are central to terrestrial ecosystems. However, data are lacking
regarding their global population abundance. We synthesized thousands of evaluations …

Tree diversity can promote both predator abundance and diversity. However, whether this
translates into increased predation and top‐down control of herbivores across predator …

The arboreal ecosystem is vitally important to global and local biogeochemical processes,
the maintenance of biodiversity in natural systems, and human health in urban …

Although much is known about the ecology and functional importance of canopy arthropods
in temperate forests, few studies have tried to assess the overall diversity and investigate the …

Species richness, community structure and taxonomic composition are important
characteristics of biodiversity. Beetle communities show distinct diversity patterns according …

Aim The strength of species interactions is traditionally expected to increase toward the
Equator. However, recent studies have reported opposite or inconsistent latitudinal trends in …

Aim Long‐standing theory predicts that the intensity of biotic interactions increases from high
to low latitudes. Studies addressing geographic variation in predation on insect prey have …

Most canopy insect research takes place in tropical forests, where communities are highly
vertically stratified. However, temperate forest canopies also provide critical resources to …

Altitude can drive the distribution of living organisms through effects on both soil properties
and plant-fungi interactions. We examined how altitude influenced soil fungal communities …
