Nature Reviews Biodiversity, Published online: 13 June 2025; doi:10.1038/s44358-025-00056-7This Perspective provides guidance about how to select the most appropriate type of interaction network for different research questions in ecology. Networks can vary according to the extent of node aggregation and the information that links represent; each kind of network formulation has advantages in different contexts.

The Center for Biological Diversity sent a comprehensive analysis to the Trump administration today detailing how a Biden-era plan would greenlight extremely harmful levels of atrazine pollution in 99...

Motivation Pollinators play a crucial role in maintaining Earth's terrestrial biodiversity. However, rapid human-induced environmental changes are compromising the long-term persistence of plant-pol...

Warming reduces zooplankton size by up to 57% at +8° C, with some nonlinear trends and breakpoints. This large-scale mesocosm study highlights the importance of intergenerational responses to warming ...

Fieldwork-based research and education in ecology are under multiple threats and are progressively declining. We call for greater attention to this ongoing loss of direct field experience within the ecology community, as it could have widespread consequences for science and education, ultimately hindering efforts to address the ongoing biodiversity crisis.

Soil fungi are critical for plants and ecosystems but are also affected by the vegetation itself. Here, we show how an experimental gradient of plant species richness and community fine root traits d...

As climate change increasingly affects biodiversity and ecosystem services, a key challenge in ecology is accurate attribution of these impacts. Though experimental studies have greatly advanced our u...

As their diets worsen, young people are suffering increasing levels of malnutrition and obesity. Can the UK turn the tide?

AbstractBackground and Aims. Spring phenological change of plants in response to global warming may affect many ecological processes and functions. Chillin

The words we choose to describe our research ultimately directs its course. A dominant term in soil science now, is ‘sequestration’, referring to the removal of carbon (C) from air and its irreversib....

Premise of research. Little is known about the establishment success of grasses after their introduction into new areas. Using herbarium data, we investigated temporospatial patterns in the survival, ...

The Division of Paleontology at the American Museum of Natural History (AMNH) seeks an Assistant Curator of Invertebrate Paleontology to start on or after July 1, 2025.The successful candidate will be...

Here I argue that we do not discuss experimental design, often until it is too late. This editorial seeks to begin a conversation about how and where to replicate appropriately.
