An algorithm for the identification of indicator taxonomic units and their use in analyses of ecosystem state

This paper introduces a mathematical method and R package to identify indicator taxonomic units and analyze ecosystem state based on presence/absence data and environmental factors.

Ecological Network assembly: how the regional meta web influence local food webs

This study tests whether local food web structure reflects dynamical or habitat constraints by comparing empirical webs to null models derived from a regional metaweb, finding no significant deviations from expectations.

Marine food webs are more complex but less stablein sub-Antarctic than in Antarctic regions

The paper compares marine food web complexity and stability between Antarctic and sub-Antarctic regions, finding the sub-Antarctic food web more complex but less stable.

Trophic resources of the edaphic microarthropods: a worldwide review of the empirical evidence

This paper reviews global empirical evidence on trophic resources of soil microarthropods, highlighting gaps in knowledge and regional biases in research.

Power laws and critical fragmentation in global forests

The paper examines global forest fragmentation dynamics, finding that regions with high deforestation rates show signs of approaching a critical fragmentation threshold.

Architecture of Marine Food Webs: to be or not be a ‘small-world’

The paper analyzes marine food webs to determine if they exhibit a small-world topology, finding that only 5 out of 28 networks meet both criteria of high clustering and short path length.
