Journal ArticleDOI

Body masses, functional responses and predator–prey stability

TL;DR: This work proposes generalised functional responses which predict gradual shifts from type-II predation of small predators on equally sized prey to type-III functional-responses of large predators on small prey and shows that these predictions are strongly supported by empirical data on forest soil food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Climate change in size-structured ecosystems.

TL;DR: The conceptual, theoretical and empirical research described in this issue suggests that effects of temperature may be dominated by changes in size structure, with relatively weak direct effects, which may provide a crucially important mechanistic approach for forecasting future consequences of global warming.
Journal ArticleDOI

Body mass constraints on feeding rates determine the consequences of predator loss

TL;DR: A reductionist approach explaining a predator's trophic effect only by empirically well-founded body-mass constraints on abundance, diet breadth and feeding strength is introduced and it is demonstrated that this mechanistic concept successfully explains the positive, negative and neutral net effects of predators on decomposers in a litter microcosm experiment.
Journal ArticleDOI

Open Science principles for accelerating trait-based science across the Tree of Life

Rachael V. Gallagher, +65 more
TL;DR: How adherence to Open Science principles is key to the OTN community is demonstrated and five activities that can accelerate the synthesis of trait data across the Tree of Life are outlined, thereby facilitating rapid advances to address scientific inquiries and environmental issues.
