Large‐bodied predators are well represented among the world's threatened and
endangered species. A significant body of literature shows that in terrestrial and marine …

Most insects have a complex life cycle with ecologically different larval and adult stages. We
present an ontogenetic perspective to analyze and summarize the complex life cycle of …

Ecosystems are differentially open to subsidies of energy, material and organisms. This
fundamental ecosystem attribute has long been recognized but the influence of this property …

The phenomenon of a population increasing in response to an increase in its per‐capita
mortality rate has recently been termed the 'hydra effect'. This article reviews and unifies …

The realization that complex systems such as ecological communities can collapse or shift
regimes suddenly and without rapid external forcing poses a serious challenge to our …
