Understanding ecosystem responses to global change have long challenged scientists due
to notoriously complex properties arising from the interplay between biological and …

The ever-increasing number of introduced species profoundly threatens global biodiversity.
While the ecological and evolutionary consequences of invasive alien species are receiving …

RivFunction is a pan-European initiative that started in 2002 and was aimed at establishing
a novel functional-based approach to assessing the ecological status of rivers. Litter …

Phenotypic variability is increasingly assessed through functional response and effect traits,
which provide a mechanistic framework for investigating how an organism responds to …

Leaf litter dominates particulate organic carbon inputs to forest streams. Using data‐
informed simulations, we explored how litter type (slow‐vs. fast‐decomposing species) …

The trophic ecology of invasive species has important implications for their impacts on
recipient ecosystems, with omnivorous invaders potentially affecting native species and …

Litterbag is a standard apparatus used in plant litter decomposition studies. Decreasing bag
mesh size hampers litter decomposition due to exclusion of large-bodied consumers and …

Loss in intraspecific diversity can alter ecosystem functions, but the underlying mechanisms
are still elusive, and intraspecific biodiversity–ecosystem function (iBEF) relationships have …

Manure application improves soil fertility, yet its implications on the success of invasion of
manure-borne microorganisms in the soil are poorly understood. Here, we assessed the …

Freshwater fishes are widely stocked to enhance existing stocks and create new fishery
opportunities, but quantification of ecological effects of stocking on recipient communities is …
