Journal ArticleDOI
Body size in ecological networks
Guy Woodward,Bo Ebenman,Mark C. Emmerson,José M. Montoya,José M. Montoya,Jens M. Olesen,Alfredo Valido,Philip H. Warren +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a new framework to describe the structure and functioning of ecological networks and to assess the probable consequences of biodiversity change, by incorporating body size into theoretical models that explore food web stability and the patterning of energy fluxes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction strengths in food webs: issues and opportunities
Eric L. Berlow,Anje-Margiet Neutel,Joel E. Cohen,Peter C. de Ruiter,Bo Ebenman,Mark C. Emmerson,Jeremy W. Fox,Vincent A. A. Jansen,J. Iwan Jones,Giorgos D. Kokkoris,Dmitrii O. Logofet,Alan J. McKane,José M. Montoya,Owen L. Petchey +13 more
TL;DR: The various ways in which the term ‘interaction strength’ has been applied are described and the implications of loose terminology and definition for the development of this field are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biodiversity lessens the risk of cascading extinction in model food webs
TL;DR: Due to the complex interactions between species in food webs, the extinction of one species could lead to a cascade of further extinctions and hence cause dramatic changes in species composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stepping in Elton’s footprints: a general scaling model for body masses and trophic levels across ecosystems
Jens O. Riede,Ulrich Brose,Bo Ebenman,Ute Jacob,Ross M. Thompson,Colin R. Townsend,Tomas Jonsson +6 more
TL;DR: Predators are, on an average, more similar in size to their prey at the top of food-webs than that closer to the base, contradict the traditional Eltonian paradigm and have implications for the understanding of body-mass constraints on food-web topology, community dynamics and stability.
