Microbes form complex communities that perform critical roles for the integrity of their
environment or the well-being of their hosts. Controlling these microbial communities can …

Network analysis offers a rich toolkit to study various graph models in biology. In ecology,
centrality indices have been suggested to indicate keystone species in interaction networks …

In February 2018, the Government of Poland and the International Seabed Authority signed
a 15-year contract for exploration of polymetallic sulfide deposits on a section of the Mid …

In recent years, sea ice cover along coasts of East Antarctica has tended to increase. To
understand ecological implications of these environmental changes, we studied benthic …

Life is organized into more or less well-defined organizational levels, connected both
horizontally and vertically. Our knowledge is richer along the horizontal levels (eg inter …

The local stability and resilience of 13 eco-social keystone species complexes (eco-social
KSCs)—considered as conservation and monitoring units—were quantified in coastal …

The populations of most pollinators, including honeybees, are declining that heavily affects
both crop and wild plant pollination. Wild bee diversity and habitat type may modulate these …

Improving the predictive power of food web analysis is a major challenge. Identifying the
relationships that link topological and dynamical features may help. We used the predictions …

Ecological recovery following restoration is typically evaluated using metrics based on
species diversity and composition. However, increasing evidence suggests the success of …

Coastal freshening in the Southern Ocean is expected to increase under projected climate
scenarios. As a major environmental stressor, prolonged reduced salinity could pose a …
