An independent, up-to-date, grant-level record of federal science funding disruptions in the United States.

Collective foraging in animal groups often relies on behavioral diversity, with individuals adopting different, sometimes complementary roles during shared tasks. However, most theoretical models pred...

The US science-funding agency is withholding $1 billion of its budget so that the money can go to a special White House project.

Cross-feeding mutualisms, in which partner species exchange essential metabolites, are ubiquitous in microbial communities. In spatially structured environments, motility can improve access to partner...

Ecological communities can exhibit transient amplification after disturbance even if asymptotically stable, yet how environmental change reshapes these short-term responses in real food webs remains u...

Unexpected shift in funds has meant sharp drop in grants this fiscal year

Body size constrains trophic interactions, shaping the feasibility of species' populations. Over macroevolutionary timescales, these constraints feed back to shape selection on body size and diet. We...

Pursuit and evasion dynamics are a general phenomenon observed in predator–prey interactions across terrestrial, aquatic, and aerial domains. Diffe...

Allometry is central to a wide range of ecological research including dynamic food web modelling. Here we updated the often neglected allometric coefficients for metabolism and production, deriving n...

Abstract. Bacterial cooperation involves the exchange of metabolites, which can range from costless byproducts of metabolism to intentionally produced and
