A probabilistic view of forbidden links: their prevalence and their consequences for the robustness of plant-hummingbird communities

The paper assesses the prevalence and impact of exploitation barriers on network robustness in plant-hummingbird communities using a Bayesian hierarchical model and interaction data.

Weather explains inter-annual variability, but not the temporal decline, in insect biomass

This paper reanalyzes insect biomass decline data, showing a significant temporal decline not explained by weather, contrary to Muller et al.'s conclusion.

When cheating turns into a stabilizing mechanism of mutualistic networks
