Caculations of response diversity can be based on species fundamental responses in isolation or their realised responses in the community using metrics of response dissimilarity and response divergen...

The Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3) is offering a full-time postdoctoral research position to support activities within a Horizon Europe project. The project focuses on developing innovative cr...

Mutualistic interactions among organisms are fundamental to the origin and maintenance of biodiversity. Yet, the study of community dynamics often relies on values averaged at the species level, igno...

Abstract Ecologists differ in the degree to which they consider the linear type I functional response to be an unrealistic versus sufficient representation of predator feeding rates. Empiricists tend ...

Most plant species world-wide depend on one or more mutualisms – beneficial associations with other species. Evidence is emerging that these biotic mutualisms shape plant biogeography (i.e. distribut....

Identifying linkages between biodiversity loss and climate change is required for understanding the scope of these interconnected challenges and de...

The position is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation project “A mechanistic theory of functional responses: zooming into movement behaviour to understand and predict predator prey interacti...

Se suele decir que cada cabeza es un mundo o que hasta los gemelos tienen sus diferencias, y lo cierto es que en la naturaleza ocurre igual: no hay dos individuos idénticos. La existencia de difere…

Numerous declines have been documented across insect groups, and the potential consequences of insect losses are dire. Butterflies are the most surveyed insect taxa, yet analyses have been limited in ...

Abstract As scientists, our collective goal is to make scientific progress in the pursuit of an absolute truth about the nature of the universe, through a feedback loop of observation, theory, and exp...

Abstract Recent developments in competition theory—namely, modern coexistence theory (MCT)—have aided empiricists in formulating tests of species persistence, coexistence, and evolution from simple to...

Abstract Spatial-temporal variation in environmental conditions is ubiquitous in nature. This variation simultaneously impacts survival, reproduction, and movement of individuals and thereby the rate ...
