Taylor's power law for ecological communities: an explanation on nonextensive/nonlinear statistical grounds
(2014)
A new idea on how to conceptually interpret the so-called Taylor’s power law for ecological communities is presented. The core of our approach is based on nonextensive/nonlinear statistical concepts, which are shown to be ...
Seed-dispersal interactions in fragmented landscapes - a metanetwork approach
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2018-04-01)
Mutualistic interactions repeatedly preserved across fragmented landscapes can scale-up to form a spatial metanetwork describing the distribution of interactions across patches. We explored the structure of a bird ...
The dimensionality of ecological networks
(2013-05-01)
How many dimensions (trait-axes) are required to predict whether two species interact? This unanswered question originated with the idea of ecological niches, and yet bears relevance today for understanding what determines ...
The ecological causes of individual specialisation
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-09-01)
Many generalist populations are composed of specialised individuals, whose niches are small subsets of the population niche. This 'individual specialisation' is a widespread phenomenon in natural populations, but until ...
Beyond species loss: the extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015-03-01)
The effects of the present biodiversity crisis have been largely focused on the loss of species. However, a missed component of biodiversity loss that often accompanies or even precedes species disappearance is the extinction ...
Beyond species loss: the extinction of ecological interactions in a changing world
(John Wiley, 2015)
1. The effects of the present biodiversity crisis have been largely focused on the loss of species.
However, a missed component of biodiversity loss that often accompanies or even precedes
species disappearance is the ...
Alien plants and flower visitors disrupt the seasonal dynamics of mutualistic networks
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2020-01-13)
Alien species can drastically disrupt ecological processes such as those involving plant-pollinator interactions, performing central roles that may affect the structure of native pollination networks. However, most studies ...
Reconstructing past ecological networks: the reconfiguration of seed-dispersal interactions after megafaunal extinction
(Springer, 2014-08-01)
The late Quaternary megafaunal extinction impacted ecological communities worldwide, and affected key ecological processes such as seed dispersal. The traits of several species of large-seeded plants are thought to have ...
Ecological consistency across space: A synthesis of the ecological aspects of Dromiciops gliroides in Argentina and Chile
(2012)
Dromiciops gliroides is an arboreal marsupial found in the temperate forests of South America (36- 43 °S). This species is the sole extant representative of the order Microbiotheria, and is a key seed disperser of many ...
The network structure of myrmecophilic interactions
(Wiley, 2015-10)
1. Ants establish mutualistic interactions involving a wide range of protective relationships (myrmecophily), in which they provide defence against enemies and partners provide food rewards and/or refuge. Although similar ...
