In the absence of well-resolved food webs that include both information on predators and parasites, body-size has been proposed as the biological mechanism underlying the assumption of a trophic hierarchy in the cascade model and its variants. We sho... Read More about Size constraints in a real food web: predator, parasite and prey body-size relationships.

Recent studies in terrestrial, plant-dominated systems have shown that reductions in diversity can affect essential ecosystem processes, especially productivity. However, the exact form of the relationship between diversity and ecosystem functions re... Read More about Diversity, biomass and ecosystem processes in the marine benthos..
