The meta-ecosystem framework demonstrates the significance of among-ecosystem spatial
flows for ecosystem dynamics and has fostered a rich body of theory. The high level of …

Current approaches to conservation may be inadequate to maintain ecosystem integrity
because they are mostly based on rarity status of organisms rather than functional significance. …

Ecosystems are widely interconnected by spatial flows of material, but the overall importance
of these flows relative to local ecosystem functioning remains unclear. Here we provide a …

We have observed the sharply resonant enhancement of the cross section of the collision
process n s+ ns→ n p+(n− 1) p between two Na ns (16<~ n<~ 27) atoms which occurs when …

Radial matrix elements have been computed involving highly excited states of alkali atoms.
An entirely analytical Coulomb method has been used. Particular attention has been paid in …

Assessing individual components of biodiversity, such as local or regional taxon richness,
and differences in community composition is a long‐standing challenge in ecology. It is …

The paradox of enrichment has been studied almost exclusively within communities or
metacommunities, without explicit nutrient dynamics. Yet local recycling of materials from …

Several key processes in freshwater ecology are governed by the connectivity inherent to
dendritic river networks. These have extensively been analyzed from a geomorphological and …

The concept of life‐history traits and the study of these traits are the hallmark of population
biology. Acknowledging their variability and evolution has allowed us to understand how …

Leaf litter decomposition is a major ecosystem process that can link aquatic to terrestrial
ecosystems by flows of nutrients. Biodiversity and ecosystem functioning research hypothesizes …
