Does the mid-domain effect shape interaction networks along environmental gradients?

This study evaluates how the mid-domain effect influences interaction network structure along environmental gradients using simulations and empirical data.

Climate-driven specialisation in plant-pollinator networks peaks outside the tropics

The paper shows climate, not latitude, drives plant-pollinator specialisation globally, with specialisation peaking at northern mid-latitudes and declining in warmer, more seasonal climates.

Defensive symbiont genotype distributions are linked to parasitoid attack networks

The paper shows that Hamiltonella defensa genotype distributions in aphids align with shared parasitoids rather than host plants, indicating parasitoids drive symbiosis prevalence.

Variable responses of individual species to tropical forest degradation

The study examines how individual species respond to tropical forest degradation, finding significant variation in responses across populations and surveys.
