Journal ArticleDOI
Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures
Jörg Tews,Ulrich Brose,Volker Grimm,Katja Tielbörger,Matthias C. Wichmann,Monika Schwager,Florian Jeltsch +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or fragmentation, and possible effects may also vary relative to the structural variable measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trade-offs between multifunctionality and profit in tropical smallholder landscapes
Ingo Grass,Ingo Grass,Christoph Kubitza,Christoph Kubitza,Vijesh V. Krishna,Marife D. Corre,Oliver Mußhoff,Peter Pütz,Jochen Drescher,Katja Rembold,Katja Rembold,Eka Sulpin Ariyanti,Andrew D.

Potapov,Edwine Setia Purnama,Matin Qaim,Alexander Röll,Stefan Scheu,Dominik Schneider,Aiyen Tjoa,Teja Tscharntke,Edzo Veldkamp,Meike Wollni +45 more
TL;DR: Landscape compositions that can mitigate trade-offs under optimal land-use allocation but also show that intensive monocultures always lead to higher profits are identified, suggesting that targeted landscape planning is needed to increase land- use efficiency while ensuring socio-ecological sustainability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Consumer–resource body-size relationships in natural food webs
Ulrich Brose,Tomas Jonsson,Eric L. Berlow,Eric L. Berlow,Philip H. Warren,Carolin Banašek-Richter,Louis-Félix Bersier,Julia L. Blanchard,Thomas Brey,Stephen R. Carpenter,Marie-France Cattin Blandenier,Lara Cushing,Hassan Ali Dawah,Tony Dell,Francois Edwards,Sarah Harper-Smith,Ute Jacob,Mark E. Ledger,Neo D. Martinez,Jane Memmott,Katja Mintenbeck,John K. Pinnegar,Björn C. Rall,Thomas S. Rayner,Daniel C. Reuman,Liliane Ruess,Werner Ulrich,Richard J. Williams,Guy Woodward,Joel E. Cohen +29 more
TL;DR: Using a unique global database on consumer and resource body sizes, it is shown that the mean body-size ratios of aquatic herbivorous and detritivorous consumers are several orders of magnitude larger than those of carnivorous predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
Allometric scaling enhances stability in complex food webs
TL;DR: This work combines structural models of complex food webs with nonlinear bioenergetic models of population dynamics parameterized by biological rates that are allometrically scaled to populations' average body masses to demonstrate that the predator-prey body mass ratios found in nature may be key to enabling persistence of populations incomplex food webs and stabilizing the diversity of natural ecosystems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food webs: reconciling the structure and function of biodiversity
Ross M. Thompson,Ulrich Brose,Jennifer A. Dunne,Robert O. Hall,Sally Hladyz,Roger L. Kitching,Neo D. Martinez,Heidi M. Rantala,Tamara N. Romanuk,Daniel B. Stouffer,Daniel B. Stouffer,Jason M. Tylianakis +11 more
TL;DR: The progression of food-web ecology and the challenges in using the food- web approach are summarized and five areas of research are identified where advances can continue, and be applied to global challenges.
