Agricultural intensification, biological pest control and spatio-temporal changes in food web structure
(2011-11-22)Agricultural intensification (AI) is a major driver of losses in agrobiodiversity and associated ecosystem functions such as biological control, thereby indirectly affecting agricultural ... -
Compartmentalization and energy channels within the soil animal food web investigated by stable isotope (13C and 15N) and fatty acid analyses
(2012-11-12)Forest soil food webs are complex and heterogeneous systems. Trophic relationships are hidden from direct observation due to small size of soil animals, cryptic habitat and complex mixtures of basal resources that are ... -
Ecological impacts of biodiversity enrichment in oil palm plantations
(2016-01-12)Land-use change is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss. To satisfy the demand for palm oil in food and biofuel, complex, species-rich rainforests are converted into large, simply-structured mono-culture oil palm ... -
Extinctions in complex food webs: drivers and consequences
(2013-09-04)Biodiversity is declining rapidly throughout the world. The rate of extinctions matches historical extinction waves and is likely to accelerate even further since two main drivers of biodiversity loss, global warming and ... -
Global change effects on the stability of food-web motifs
(2015-10-15)Global change affects ecosystems worldwide and has already caused a massive decline in the world's biodiversity. As the processes behind environmental change continue at ever-accelerating rates, this leads to a severe ... -
Influence of warming on microbial ecosystems
(2017-02-13)Climate change is progressing fast causing losses in biodiversity to the extent that scientists believe the world to be on the brink of the sixth wave of mass extinction. While some global change drivers like pollution, ... -
Land-use impacts on biodiversity and ecosystem functioning of complex multitrophic communities
(2016-02-24)Global biodiversity is rapidly declining, resulting in far-reaching impacts on the functioning of ecosystems and human wellbeing. In recent decades, anthropogenic land use has been identified as a major driver of biodiversity ... -
Services and disservices driven by ant communities in tropical agroforests
(2013-05-30)Agricultural productivity and human well-being are built upon ecosystem services and disservices. Ants in tropical agroecosystems drive a complex network of direct and indirect interactions between crops and their mutualists ... -
Topology and stability of complex foodwebs
(2012-03-09)Since the early twentieth century, different general laws have been investigated to understand mechanisms driving stability in natural ecosystems, but until today the mechanisms are still generally unexplored. The main ... -
Unravelling mechanisms linking plant diversity to plant-disease suppression
(2015-09-01)The use of microbes for biological control of plant diseases represents an environmentally friendly and promising approach. Plant diversity is known to increase numerous ecosystem functions and also increases the resistance ... -
Using body mass, metabolism and stoichiometry to assess ecological impacts in a changing environment
(2016-03-01)Earth’s ecosystems are composed of living organisms and their biotic and abiotic environment. In order to understand the structure and functioning of these ecosystems, ecologists study the interactions of organisms with ...
