Network approaches to ecological questions have been increasingly used, particularly in
recent decades. The abstraction of ecological systems–such as communities–through …

Knowledge of species composition and their interactions, in the form of interaction networks,
is required to understand processes sha** their distribution over time and space. As such …

The impact of damming on river ecosystems has received increasing attention, but a
comprehensive understanding of the occurrence, drivers and exposure risks of microplastic …

Network analysis is a useful approach for investigating complex and relational data in many
fields including ecology, molecular and evolutionary biology. 2. Here, we introduce enaR, an …

Food webs have markedly non‐random network structure. Ecologists maintain that this non‐
random structure is key for stability, since large random ecological networks would …

Extensive habitat destruction and pollution have caused dramatic declines in aquatic
biodiversity at local to global scales. In rivers, the reintroduction of large woody debris is a …

Understanding whether and how environmental conditions may impact food web structure at
a global scale is central to our ability to predict how food webs will respond to climate …

Monitoring anthropogenic impacts is essential for managing and conserving ecosystems, yet
current biomonitoring approaches lack the tools required to deal with the effects of stressors …

Warming alters ecosystems through direct physiological effects on organisms and indirect
effects via biotic interactions, but their relative impacts in the wild are unknown due to the …

Flow regimes are a major driver of community composition and structure in riverine
ecosystems, and flow regulation by dams often induces artificially-stable flow regimes …
