The multilayer nature of ecological networks
Although networks provide a powerful approach to study a large variety of ecological
systems, their formulation does not typically account for multiple interaction types …

Scavenging: how carnivores and carrion structure communities
Recent advances in the ecology of food webs underscore the importance of detritus and
indirect predator–prey effects. However, most research considers detritus as an invariable …

A reconstruction of parasite burden reveals one century of climate-associated parasite decline
Long-term data allow ecologists to assess trajectories of population abundance. Without this
context, it is impossible to know whether a taxon is thriving or declining to extinction. For …

Homage to Linnaeus: how many parasites? How many hosts?
Estimates of the total number of species that inhabit the Earth have increased significantly
since Linnaeus's initial catalog of 20,000 species. The best recent estimates suggest that …

An ecological network approach to predict ecosystem service vulnerability to species losses
Human-driven threats are changing biodiversity, impacting ecosystem services. The loss of
one species can trigger secondary extinctions of additional species, because species …

Predator traits determine food-web architecture across ecosystems
Predator–prey interactions in natural ecosystems generate complex food webs that have a
simple universal body-size architecture where predators are systematically larger than their …
