More than a meal… integrating non-feeding interactions into food webs.
Sonia Kéfi,Sonia Kéfi,Eric L. Berlow,Eric L. Berlow,Evie A. Wieters,Evie A. Wieters,Sergio A. Navarrete,Owen L. Petchey,Owen L. Petchey,Spencer A. Wood,Alice Boit,Lucas Joppa,Kevin D. Lafferty,Richard J. Williams,Neo D. Martinez,Bruce A. Menge,Carol A. Blanchette,Alison C. Iles,Ulrich Brose +18 more
TL;DR: A conceptual framework is proposed that organises this diversity of non-trophic interactions observed in nature into three main functional classes defined by how they modify specific parameters in a dynamic food web model and offers a new perspective on tackling ecological complexity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Scales of benthic–pelagic coupling and the intensity of species interactions: From recruitment limitation to top-down control
TL;DR: Evaluating the effects of variation in wind-driven upwelling on community regulation along 900 km of coastline of the southeastern Pacific finds that geographically discontinuous oceanographic regimes set bounds to the strength of species interactions and define distinct regions for the design and implementation of sustainable management and conservation policies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Species co-occurrence networks: Can they reveal trophic and non-trophic interactions in ecological communities?
Mara Freilich,Mara Freilich,Mara Freilich,Evie A. Wieters,Bernardo R. Broitman,Pablo A. Marquet,Sergio A. Navarrete +6 more
TL;DR: Co-occurrence networks provide information about the joint spatial effects of environmental conditions, recruitment, and, to some extent, biotic interactions, and among the latter, they tend to better detect niche-expanding positive non-trophic interactions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Network structure beyond food webs: mapping non-trophic and trophic interactions on Chilean rocky shores.
Sonia Kéfi,Sonia Kéfi,Eric L. Berlow,Evie A. Wieters,Evie A. Wieters,Lucas Joppa,Spencer A. Wood,Ulrich Brose,Sergio A. Navarrete +8 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that non-trophic interactions exhibit highly nonrandom structures both alone and with respect to food web structure, which suggests a path forward for developing a more comprehensive ecological network theory to predict the functioning and resilience of ecological communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
How Structured Is the Entangled Bank? The Surprisingly Simple Organization of Multiplex Ecological Networks Leads to Increased Persistence and Resilience.
TL;DR: This work provides a first glimpse at what the full “entangled bank” of species looks like and suggests that this non-random patterning of how diverse non-trophic interactions map onto the food web could allow for higher species persistence and higher total biomass than expected by chance and promote a higher robustness to extinctions.
