Spatial Foodweb Ecology Group at the University of Helsinki.
To a close approximation, all animals on Earth are insects – both in terms of species numbers and biomass. To understand why insect communities are structured like they are, we need to understand how strongly different species interact with each other in time and space, how that affects their abundances, and how this is reflected in ecosystem functioning. The Spatial Foodweb Ecology Group focuses

New paper: The importance of species identity and interactions on multifunctionality depends on how ecosystem functions are valued
The importance of species identity and interactions on multifunctionality depends on how ecosystem functions are valued Studies investigating how biodiversity affects ecosystem functioning increasingly focus on multiple functions measured simultaneously (‘multifunctionality’). However, few such studies assess the role of...

Evidence piling on for stronger biotic interactions closer to the equator
How latitude affects biotic interactions Are biotic interactions, such as competition and predation, stronger in the tropics than at higher latitudes? Biologists have long speculated that more intense interactions tend to occur at lower rather than at higher latitudes as a result of year-round warm and wet conditions near the equator, part...
