The productivity of marine ecosystems and the services they provide to humans are largely
dependent on complex interactions between prey and predators. These are embedded in a …

There is increasing world‐wide concern about the impact of the introduction of exotic species
on ecological communities. Since many exotic plants depend on native pollinators to …

Indirect interactions play an essential role in governing population, community and coevolutionary
dynamics across a diverse range of ecological communities. Such communities are …

Many different concepts have been used to describe species' roles in food webs (ie, the ways
in which species participate in their communities as consumers and resources). As each …

There is a growing realization among community ecologists that interactions between
species vary across space and time and that this variation needs to be quantified. Our current …

Aim How do factors such as space, time, climate and other ecological drivers influence food
web structure and dynamics? Collections of well‐studied food webs and replicate food webs …

Inter‐annual turnover in community composition can affect the richness and functioning of
ecological communities. If incoming and outgoing species do not interact with the same …

With the global change in climate, the Arctic has been pinpointed as the region experiencing
the fastest rates of change. As a result, Arctic biological responses—such as shifts in …

Insects provide key pollination services in most terrestrial biomes, but this service depends
on a multistep interaction between insect and plant. An insect needs to visit a flower, receive …

Several properties of food webs—the networks of feeding links between species—are known
to vary systematically with the species richness of the underlying community. Under the ‘…
