DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2018.01.022
Abstract: Many animals actively defend their offspring using a range of behaviours from calling and mobbing in birds, to physical grappling in crustaceans, and the expression of these behaviours positively scale with offspring value. While this… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2018.11.024
Abstract: Abstract Bottom trawling is one of the main anthropogenic pressures that impact soft-bottom habitats, directly affecting benthic and demersal communities, as well as their food web structure. To analyse local scale impacts of bottom trawling… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.105128
Abstract: Coastal lagoons are often characterized by eutrophic conditions which are known to impair the structure and functioning of both pelagic and benthic compartments. However, the manner in which eutrophication triggers a series of cascade effects… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.rsma.2020.101354
Abstract: Abstract The food web structure prior to and following the construction of artificial reefs (ARs) in the sea area around Xiaoheishan Island was established and a comparative study was conducted using stable isotopes. A total… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-017-01921-y
Abstract: An important challenge in theoretical ecology is to better predict ecological responses to environmental change, and in particular to spatial changes such as habitat fragmentation. Classical food-web models have focused on purely ecological predictions, without… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-41783-0
Abstract: Understanding whether and how environmental conditions may impact food web structure at a global scale is central to our ability to predict how food webs will respond to climate change. However, such an understanding is… read more here.

Changes in invertebrate food web structure between high- and low-productivity environments are driven by intermediate but not top-predator diet shifts

DOI: 10.1098/rsbl.2022.0364
Abstract: Predator–prey interactions shape ecosystem stability and are influenced by changes in ecosystem productivity. However, because multiple biotic and abiotic drivers shape the trophic responses of predators to productivity, we often observe patterns, but not mechanisms,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1215/00127094-3715296
Abstract: A family of algebraic curves covering a projective variety $X$ is called a web of curves on $X$ if it has only finitely many members through a general point of $X$. A web of curves… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0268440
Abstract: Spatial heterogeneity in food web structure and interactions may reconcile spatial variation in population and community dynamics in large marine ecosystems. In order to assess food web contributions to the different community recovery dynamics along… read more here.
