Modeling and inference are central to most areas of science and especially to evolving and
complex systems. Critically, the information we have is often uncertain and insufficient …

Metabolism is the link between ecology and physiology—it dictates the flow of energy
through individuals and across trophic levels. Much of the predictive power of metabolic …

The study of biodiversity started as a single unified field that spanned both ecology and
evolution and both macro and micro phenomena. But over the 20th century, major trends …

To advance understanding of biodiversity and ecosystem function, ecologists seek widely
applicable relationships among species diversity and other ecosystem characteristics such …

The Maximum Entropy Theory of Ecology (METE), is a theoretical framework of
macroecology that makes a variety of realistic ecological predictions about how species …

Simple Summary This study is based on a large dataset and re-evaluates data on the
metabolic rate, providing new insights into the similarities and differences across different …

Linking pattern to process across spatial and temporal scales has been a key goal of the
field of biogeography. In January 2017, the 8th biennial conference of the International …

Mitochondrial genomes can be assembled readily from shotgun‐sequenced DNA mixtures
of mass‐trapped arthropods (“mitochondrial metagenomics”), speeding up the taxonomic …

Few hosts have many parasites while many hosts have few parasites. This axiom of
macroparasite aggregation is so pervasive it is considered a general law in disease …

Ecological patterns arise from the interplay of many different processes, and yet the
emergence of consistent phenomena across a diverse range of ecological systems suggests …
