New online! Tailoring interaction network types to answer different ecological questions

Tailoring interaction network types to answer different ecological questions

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.

NEW: Nutrient Dilution (ND)—the decline in the essential elements in plants that feed the rest of the ecosystem—has been implicated in widespread insect declines. Dr. Ellen Welti and I explored just how much nutrient variation herbivores encounter in a tallgrass prairie.

Prestigious journals make it hard for scientists who don’t speak English to get published. And we all lose out

A study of 736 biological science journals showed only a small fraction are making efforts to foster a multilingual scientific community.

Do you like breathing? Do you like eating? If your answer is yes for either of them, then you care about phytoplankton,” said Jeremy Werdell, the lead scientist for the satellite program, called PACE, which stands for “Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem.”
