Our recent article in Oikos seeks to understand biological interactions and long-term trends in northern Baltic Sea phytoplankton communities. At the heart of this article, however, is long-term monitoring data collected by Stockholm University as part of the Swedish...
Migratory animals typically visit several places throughout their journeys. It is widely acknowledged that ‘migratory connectivity’ - the geographic linking of individuals and populations between one life cycle stage and another - has consequences for migrant fitness...

Biological communities are shaped by both local biotic interactions and abiotic environmental conditions (environmental filtering) and regional processes, such as the movement of organisms from one site to another (dispersal). Following this, how sets of local...

Fleshy fruits function primarily to attract mutualistic animal seed dispersers, yet they are much more than packages of nutritional rewards. Fruits contain a rich array of secondary metabolites that give them their incredible diversity in flavors, odors, and colors...

Tank bromeliads are a family of Neotropical plants, with tightly overlapping leaves that are capable of accumulating rain water and detritus. These plants host a very diverse aquatic community in which the larval stage of several species of mosquitoes, non-biting...

Basic questions in animal collective behaviour are still unanswered. Bird coloniality is a good example: Why do many bird species breed in colonies? Why is colony size so variable within and between species? Why is breeding in colonies often synchronised? Historically...

Density-dependent mortality (DDM) has been identified as one of the processes allowing coexistence of hundreds of species in tropical forests. At the early stages of tree development, mortality occurs mainly within dense clumps of conspecific individuals as a...

Cross-system subsidies, or transfers of energy and nutrients from one ecosystem to another, have been studied extensively in many different types of environments. In particular, a great deal of research demonstrates that subsidies between streams and surrounding...

Food webs represent the general framework of ecological communities. Our study unfold the structural complexity of weighted food webs, where energy flows are quantified, highlighting the topologies that are mainly responsible for distributing the energy flow to the...

We have too much to read, reviewers do not review enough manuscripts, there are too many journals, and good journals do not publish enough papers. The need of technology hand in hand with pressure to publish and increase in demographics in academia (e.g., ease of...
