Vertebrates do not display consistent declines in abundance or stability with contemporary range or realized climate niche centrality

J. A. Britnell, Thomas F. Johnson, Benno I. Simmons…·Christopher F. Clements

This study finds no consistent decline in vertebrate abundance or stability with distance from range or climate niche centres, challenging assumptions in ecological models.

Vulnerable species interactions are important for the stability of mutualistic networks

Benno I. Simmons, Hannah S. Wauchope, Tatsuya Amano…·Vasilis Dakos

The paper quantifies the risk of mutualistic interactions based on vulnerability and importance across 41 pollination and seed dispersal networks, finding that more vulnerable interactions are also more important for network stability.
