Species traits and community structure can drive large-scale spatial propagation of effects in ecosystems

The paper investigates how species traits and landscape structure influence the spatial spread of ecological effects in plant-frugivore networks across New Zealand.

Mapping trait versus species turnover reveals spatiotemporal variation in functional redundancy in a plant-pollinator network

The paper examines how trait turnover within species affects functional redundancy and network vulnerability in an Arctic bumblebee-plant pollination network across elevation and season.

Less is worse than none: ineffective adaptive foraging can destabilise food webs

This study shows that ineffective adaptive foraging can destabilize food webs, with less-effective diet adjustment leading to higher extinction rates than no adjustment at all.

Global and regional ecological boundaries drive abrupt changes in avian frugivory interactions

The paper examines how ecological boundaries and human disturbance gradients affect avian frugivory networks, finding increased dissimilarity across these boundaries.

Consistent trade-offs in ecosystem services between land covers with different production intensities

The paper quantifies ecosystem service supply across different land covers in New Zealand, finding consistent trade-offs between high-intensity production and extensive/no production land covers, but no distinct patterns for forest cover.

Environment affects specialisation of plants and pollinators

The paper investigates how environmental stress influences plant-pollinator specialisation, finding that species adapt their interaction strategies based on environmental conditions.

The trade-offs of sharing pollinators: pollination service is determined by the community context

The paper shows that pollination service is more influenced by plant abundance and visit effectiveness than by the number of shared pollinators, with trade-offs depending on community context.
