  • Consumption rates vary substantially between consumers searching in three dimensions (for example, arboreal and pelagic zones), with consumption rates scaling superlinearly with consumer body mass, and those searching in two dimensions (for example, terrestrial and benthic zones), with consumption rates scaling sublinearly with consumer body mass.

  • Thermal performance models support metabolic modeling in diverse contexts. Here, the authors compare 83 existing models with 2739 thermal performance datasets, finding that model performance doesn’t necessarily depend on the trait type, sampling resolution, or taxon being studied.

  • Mathematical modelling combined with activity-tracking data from 73 terrestrial carnivore species reveals positive scaling between body size and the proportion of active time devoted to foraging until around 5 kg, after which negative scaling occurs.

  • Organisms can alter their physiological response to warming. Here, the authors show that the ability to raise metabolic rate following exposure to warming is inverse to body size and provide a mathematical model which estimates that metabolic plasticity could amplify energy flux through ecosystems in response to warming.

  • Ecological network research has typically focused on flows of matter and energy, but species also exchange information signals and cues that influence behaviour and movement. This Perspective argues that the information network of nature is a crucial aspect of community organization.

  • Warming reduces zooplankton size by up to 57% at +8° C, with some nonlinear trends and breakpoints. This large-scale mesocosm study highlights the importance of intergenerational responses to warming for understanding ecosystem changes.

  • Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs) are intended to provide standardized measurements for reporting biodiversity change. Here, the authors outline the conceptual and empirical basis for the use of EBVs based on species traits, and highlight tools necessary for creating comprehensive EBV data products.

  • Huxley et al. use laboratory experiments to examine how environmental resource depletion impacts temperature-dependent traits observed in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The authors find that the conspecific competition dynamics of larvae significantly alter how the mosquito’s population-level fitness responds to temperature, shedding light on how arthropods and other disease vectors may respond to environmental change.
