Zooplankton transfer substantial energy in aquatic food webs and are used as indicators of environmental change. Syntheses of zooplankton community dynamics globally require datasets that span a wide...

As cities expand globally, the ratio of artificial to natural freshwater habitats is increasing. While public urban ponds have been the subject of an increasing number of biodiversity studies, the bi...

Abstract Understanding how temperature affects adaptation of cell size is challenging because cell size mediates numerous physiological and ecological trade-offs. While physiological mechanisms can le...

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 ...

Body size is a key functional trait that has declined in many biological communities, partly due to changes in individual growth rates in response to climate warming. However, our understanding of gr....

<p>Read about &ldquo;Availability of juvenile refuge habitats explains the dynamics and size structure of cannibalistic fish populations&rdquo; by Wojciech Uszko, Tobias van Kooten, and P&auml;r Bystr...

Two simple, universal rules derived from energetic arguments predict the parameters of predator functional responses that underlie the strengths of trophic interactions. Furthermore, theory developed....

Despite advances in theory and experiments, how biodiversity influences the structure and functioning of natural ecosystems remains debated. By applying new theory to data on 84,695 plant, animal, and...

Institutionen för ekologi, miljö och geovetenskap vid Umeå universitet söker en motiverad postdoktorkandidat för att undersöka effekterna av globala förändringar på norra sjöekosystem, med s

Spatial environmental heterogeneity is an important driver of aquatic biodiversity. Ecological and evolutionary theory often consider spatial heterogeneity as being driven by exogenous factors, yet h...

Data from over 150 elephants demonstrated that these giants plan their journeys based on energy costs and resource availability.

Organisms invariably experience trade-offs in their capacities for interacting with their environments. In resource competition, this often means that…

Abstract A vertical separation in light and nutrient availability is observed in many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. In lakes and oceans, the opposing vertical gradients of light and nutrients ty...

Temperature regulates the physiology and behaviour of organisms. Thus, changing temperatures impact the dynamics of species interactions. Considering that consumer–resource interactions underpin ecol...

The Department of Ecology and Environmental Science is offering a postdoctoral scholarship focusing on understanding global change impacts on essential elements in northern lakes and the potential thr

Five entire families can be killed, totalling 30 wolves, in move campaigners say is illegal under EU law

Current workflows in academic ecology rarely allow an engagement of ecologists with philosophers, or with contemporary philosophical work. We argue that this is a missed opportunity for enriching eco...
