This paper uses large language models to extract species interaction data from citizen science comments, expanding ecological data coverage and enabling new ecological research.

The paper presents a mechanistic model to simulate multiplex ecological networks by incorporating correlated traits, showing how trait correlations affect ecological stability.

The paper provides an analytical framework for cross-scale mutualistic networks, showing how nestedness stabilizes communities and connectance destabilizes them, unifying native persistence and invasion thresholds.

The paper investigates how invasive plants affect native plants in neighboring habitats through pollinator-mediated cross-boundary effects, finding decreased pollination success in native plants.

This study uses model simulations to show that empirically connected networks with adaptive foraging maximize pollen deposition in plant-pollinator communities.

This study shows pollinator adaptive foraging creates equalizing mechanisms that promote plant coexistence by benefiting specialists over generalists, resolving conflicting findings on pollination's role.

The paper constructs a high-resolution terrestrial aboveground food web revealing unique structural properties of herbivory and carnivory interactions.
