Journal ArticleDOI
Universal temperature and body-mass scaling of feeding rates.
Björn C. Rall,Ulrich Brose,Martin Hartvig,Martin Hartvig,Gregor Kalinkat,Gregor Kalinkat,Florian Schwarzmüller,Olivera Vucic-Pestic,Owen L. Petchey +8 more
TL;DR: These body-mass- and temperature-scaling models remain useful as a mechanistic basis for predicting the consequences of warming for interaction strengths, population dynamics and network stability across communities differing in their size structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allometric functional response model: body masses constrain interaction strengths.
TL;DR: The results imply that predators of intermediate size impose stronger per capita top-down interaction strengths on a prey than smaller or larger predators, and the stability of population and food-web dynamics should increase with increasing body-mass ratios in consequence of increases in the scaling exponents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Complex responses of global insect pests to climate warming
Philipp Lehmann,Philipp Lehmann,Philipp Lehmann,Tea Ammunet,Madeleine Barton,Andrea Battisti,Sanford D. Eigenbrode,Jane Uhd Jepsen,Gregor Kalinkat,Seppo Neuvonen,Pekka Niemelä,John S. Terblanche,Bjørn Økland,Christer Björkman +13 more
TL;DR: Although it is well known that insects are sensitive to temperature, how they will be affected by ongoing global warming remains uncertain because these responses are multifaceted and ecologically... as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Body masses, functional responses and predator–prey stability
Gregor Kalinkat,Gregor Kalinkat,Florian D. Schneider,Florian D. Schneider,Florian D. Schneider,Christoph Digel,Christian Guill,Christian Guill,Björn C. Rall,Ulrich Brose +9 more
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
The global decline of freshwater megafauna
Fengzhi He,Fengzhi He,Fengzhi He,Christiane Zarfl,Vanessa Bremerich,Jonathan N. W. David,Zeb S. Hogan,Gregor Kalinkat,Klement Tockner,Klement Tockner,Sonja C. Jähnig +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified changes in population abundance and distribution range of freshwater megafauna species globally and in Europe and the United States from literature and databases of the International Union for Conservation of Nature and NatureServe.
