Biodiversity and ecosystem functions in multi-trophic communities

Is multi-trophic biodiversity leading to higher ecosystem functioning? Theoretical models simulating complex food webs can help identify mechanisms underlying ecosystem functioning. By means of a trait-based model, we show the importance of biodiversity and food web structure for multiple ecosystem functions and establish hypotheses to...

Marine fish traits follow fast-slow continuum across oceans

Why do species occur where they are found? Looking at the traits that species carry may provide the answer, since they determine in which type of environment and with which other species it may live. We studied here the distribution of more than 1,200 marine fish species in the North Atlantic and Northeast Pacific to see if traits and...

Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning relationships in demersal fish communities

While the planet experiences unprecedented human-induced biodiversity loss, from marine to terrestrial realms, and from microbes to large mammals, evidence that biodiversity enhances ecosystem functioning is developing. In our new paper, we ask, what are the effects of biodiversity in fished ecosystems?

A trait collection of marine fish species

We compiled 14 traits of 1700 marine fish species on three latitudinal gradients to facilitate large-scale studies on fish traits and functional diversity of fish communities.
