Food‐web structure mediates dramatic effects of biodiversity loss including secondary and `cascading'
extinctions. We studied these effects by simulating primary species loss in 16 …

Networks from a wide range of physical, biological, and social systems have been recently
described as “small-world” and “scale-free.” However, studies disagree whether ecological …

Parasitism is the most common consumer strategy among organisms, yet only recently has
there been a call for the inclusion of infectious disease agents in food webs. The value of this …

This book is based on proceedings from a February 2004 Santa Fe Institute workshop. Its
contributing chapter authors treat the ecology of predator-prey interactions and food web theory…

The global biodiversity crisis concerns not only unprecedented loss of species within
communities, but also related consequences for ecosystem function. Community ecology focuses …

Isosteric heats of adsorption and adsorption isotherms have been measured simultaneously
in a calorimeter for a series of gases of increasing size and magnitude of quadrupole …

… Harte, and DEB-96-23258 to JA Dunne. JA Dunne received additional support from a Berkeley
Graduate Fellowship, an EPA “Science To Achieve Results” Predoctoral Fellowship, and …

A Tian−Calvet type calorimeter is applied to the simultaneous determination of adsorption
isotherms and heats of adsorption. This is the first of a series of studies of the effect of …

This chapter describes research that seeks to characterize and model the structure of food
webs, complex networks of feeding (trophic) interactions among diverse species in …

Feeding relationships can cause invasions, extirpations, and population fluctuations of a
species to dramatically affect other species within a variety of natural habitats. Empirical …
