Landscape structure and biotic interactions are closely linked. We identify five aspects of
landscape structure that contribute to the co-occurrence of species and restrict or enable …

Although we are currently experiencing worldwide biodiversity loss, local species richness
does not always decline under anthropogenic pressure. This conservation paradox may …

Risk-induced fear effects exerted by top predators are pervasive in terrestrial and marine
systems, with lasting impacts on ecosystem structure and function. The loss of top predators …

Ecosystem processes are challenging to quantify at a community level, particularly within
complex ecosystems (eg, rainforests, coral reefs). Predation is one of the most important …

Island biogeography remains a popular topic in ecology and has gained renewed interest
due to recent theoretical development. As experimental investigation of the theory is difficult …

Coral reef ecosystems are under a variety of threats from global change and anthropogenic
disturbances that are reducing the number and type of coral species on reefs. Coral reefs …

Spatial and trophic processes profoundly influence biodiversity, yet ecological theories often
treat them independently. The theory of island biogeography and related theories on …

The mangrove–seagrass–patch reef (MSP) ecosystem serves as the principal back‐reef
nursery for many reef fishes in the Caribbean, but the functional roles of habitats that form …

Objective Since 2010, three spatially disjunct reef fish video surveys have provided fishery‐
independent data critical to the assessment and management of reef fishes in the Gulf of …

Every animal dies. In nature, mortality usually occurs due to predation by other animals. One
of the fundamental consequences of mortality is the transfer of energy and nutrients from …
