En Doñana, encontramos 385 especies de abejas silvestres, desde enormes abejas carpinteras de 3 centímetros hasta otras diminutas que, muchas veces, pasan inadvertidas. Conocerlas es el primer paso pa...

We compiled the first checklist of wild bees in Doñana Protected Area, documenting 385 species, including three vulnerable and one endangered species listed in the Red List. Bee species exhibit dive...

Community disassembly examines how extinctions reshape ecological communities. Here, we introduce the community disassembly graph, which uses invasion growth rates (IGRs) to identify extinction-drive....

A new framework provides a robust, timescale-aware way to interpret empirical interactions in ecological systems, offering practical quantitative guidance for experimental design and predictive ecosys...

Disturbances can occur as short-lived pulses (e.g., storms) or sustained presses (e.g., chronic drought). Much work in ecology has developed methods to help predict how natural populations respond to...

Thank you for your interest in joining the Editorial Board of the upcoming "Transactions of the Complex Systems Society." Our mission is to build a board that reflects the interdisciplinary nature of ...

The WiNS Seminar Series is an opportunity for early career researchers to present ongoing or recently finished work in a multidisciplinary and supportive environment. We enjoy hosting researchers from...

He was born before the Great Depression, came of age in WWII, and is still making wildlife documentaries. Brits call David Attenborough a national hero, as he celebrates his 100th birthday.

We develop a unifying framework that predicts how species respond to environmental disturbances by linking species-level stability to a single quantity: self-regulation loss (SL). Using analytical re....

“In recent months, more and more administrative reports centered on LLM-related issues, and editors were being overwhelmed.”

As an independent nonprofit, it hopes to raise funds to cope with exploding submissions and “AI slop”

What, if anything, is ecology? You would think I’d know that – I’ve been a practicing (academic) ecologist for about 40 years. But I don’t. Sure, I know some stuff. I know that ecology isn’t the sa…

How secrecy reshapes structure and why its analysis is conditional on the data
