Environmental factors can influence ecological networks, but these effects are poorly understood in the realm of the phylogeny of host-parasitoid interactions. Especially, we lack a comprehensive understanding of the ways that biotic factors, including plant diversity, tree identity, genetic diversity, overall community composition of higher trophi...

... linear regression model results showed that host vulnerability, linkage density, and robustness of parasitoids were significantly negatively related to tree species richness, while remaining unaffected by other environmental covariables (Table 2 , Fig. 3 ; except for elevation, which was marginally significantly related to robustness). Interaction evenness was significantly negatively associated with canopy cover, and interaction evenness was also negatively related to eastness ( Fig. 4c ; Table 2 ).. Generality was only marginally associated with canopy cover, and was not related to ...

Understanding how biotic interactions shape ecosystems and impact their functioning, resilience and biodiversity has been a sustained research priority in ecology. Yet, traditional assessments of ecological complexity typically focus on species-species interactions that mediate a particular function (e.g., pollination), overlooking both the synergi...
Mutualistic ecological networks can suddenly transition to undesirable states due to small changes in environmental conditions. Recovering from such a collapse can be difficult as restoring the original environmental conditions may be infeasible. Additionally, such networks can also exhibit a phenomenon known as hysteresis, whereby the system could...
We consider different anti-symmetric Lotka–Volterra systems governing the pairwise interactions among the same n species inhabiting m spatially discrete habitat patches, with each patch having infinitely many equilibria. In the absence of inter-patch species migration, the species densities in each isolated patch evolve in periodic orbits. A centra...
Ecological networks are an effective strategy to maintain regional ecological security. However, current research on ecological network construction in areas with large-scale resource extraction is limited. Moreover, classic ecological network construction methods do not perform satisfactorily when implemented in heavily damaged mining landscapes....
Higher-order interactions (HOIs) have the potential to greatly increase our understanding of ecological interaction networks beyond what is possible with established models that usually consider only pairwise interactions between organisms. While equilibrium values of such HOI-based models have been studied, the dynamics of these models and the sta...
