Rising water temperature in rivers: Ecological impacts and future resilience
Rising water temperatures in rivers due to climate change are already having observable
impacts on river ecosystems. Warming water has both direct and indirect impacts on aquatic …

Food web rewiring in a changing world
Climate change is asymmetrically altering environmental conditions in space, from local to
global scales, creating novel heterogeneity. Here, we argue that this novel heterogeneity will …

Migratory animals couple biodiversity and ecosystem functioning worldwide
Background Every year, billions of migratory animals cross the planet in pursuit of increased
foraging opportunities, improved safety, and higher reproductive output. In so doing, these …

Species traits and climate velocity explain geographic range shifts in an ocean‐warming hotspot
Species' ranges are shifting globally in response to climate warming, with substantial
variability among taxa, even within regions. Relationships between range dynamics and …

Rescaling the trophic structure of marine food webs
Measures of trophic position (TP) are critical for understanding food web interactions and
human‐mediated ecosystem disturbance. Nitrogen stable isotopes (δ15N) provide a …

Conservation of species interaction networks
Recent work has shown that antagonist (eg predator–prey food web) and mutualist (eg
pollinator–plant) network structure can be altered by global environmental change drivers …

Integrating food web diversity, structure and stability
Given the unprecedented rate of species extinctions facing the planet, understanding the
causes and consequences of species diversity in ecosystems is of paramount importance …

Stability and complexity in model meta-ecosystems
The diversity of life and its organization in networks of interacting species has been a long-
standing theoretical puzzle for ecologists. Ever since May's provocative paper challenging …

Warming shifts top-down and bottom-up control of pond food web structure and function
The effects of global and local environmental changes are transmitted through networks of
interacting organisms to shape the structure of communities and the dynamics of …

Contrasting patterns of individual specialization and trophic coupling in two marine apex predators
Apex predators are often assumed to be dietary generalists and, by feeding on prey from
multiple basal nutrient sources, serve to couple discrete food webs. But there is increasing …
