May 12, 2017 · Classical food-web models have focused on purely ecological predictions, without taking adaptation or evolution of species traits into account.

We address this issue using an eco-evolutionary model, which is based on body masses and diets as the key traits that determine metabolic rates and trophic ...

Within our model system, we observe that habitat coupling increases the lifetimes of top predators and promotes local biodiversity. List of references. Barnosky ...

An important challenge in theoretical ecology is to better predict ecological responses to environmental change, and in particular to spatial changes such ...

Here we show that metacommunity theory can explain the emergence of species-rich food webs with complex network topologies.
