Tripartite networks show that keystone species can multitask
Timóteo, Sérgio; Albrecht, Jörg; Rumeu, Beatriz; Norte, Ana C.; Traveset, Anna; Frost, Carol M.; Marchante, Elizabete; López-Núñez, Francisco A.1. Keystone species are disproportionately important for ecosystem functioning. While all species engage in multiple interaction types with other species, keystone species importance is often defined based on a single dimension of their Eltonian niche, that is, one type of interaction (e.g. keystone predator). It remains unclear whether the importance of keystone species is unidimensional or if it extends acros...
Ecological networks: delving into the architecture of biodiversity
Heleno, Ruben; Garcia, Cristina; Jordano, Pedro; Traveset, Anna; Gómez, José Maria; Bluthgen, Nico; Memmott, Jane; Moora, Mari; Cerdeira, JorgeIn recent years, the analysis of interaction networks has grownpopular as a framework to explore ecological processes and the relationships between community structure and its functioning. The field has rapidly grown from its infancy to a vibrant youth, as reflected in the variety and quality of the discussions held at the first international symposium on Ecological Networks in Coimbra—Portugal (23–25 October 2...
