  • The universality of the energetic equivalence rule has long been debated. Here, the authors show that across 183 soil invertebrate food webs, size–density and energy use varied with trophic level, energy measure, and food web structure, showing that ecosystem energetics depend on context and trophic complexity.

  • The authors use stomach contents from six fish species sampled for 12 years to show that warming shifts foraging behaviour to favour consumption of less energetically rewarding prey. Using food web models, they show that this flexible foraging could lead to reduced community biodiversity.

  • Global warming will affect food-web structure and species persistence, and real world data is needed for better prediction. Combining species counts and temperature data from rock pools with dynamic modelling predicts biodiversity increases in arctic to temperate regions and declines in the tropics.

  • This Perspective provides guidance about how to select the most appropriate type of interaction network for different research questions in ecology. Networks can vary according to the extent of node aggregation and the information that links represent; each kind of network formulation has advantages in different contexts.

  • Planting diverse forests is widely promoted as a way to counter climate change and improve ecosystem functioning. This study finds that the spatial arrangement of tree species matters: forests with higher spatial mixing of tree species yield greater biomass, faster nutrient cycling, and thus enhanced ecosystem functioning.

  • Global-scale analyses of marine, terrestrial and freshwater assemblages found that temporal rates of species replacement were faster in locations with faster temperature change, including warming and cooling, and vulnerable assemblages were especially responsive.

  • Plant diversity and community history can jointly influence ecosystem functions, including those performed by soil fauna. This study shows that soil community history, rather than plant diversity or short-term plant adaptations, plays a crucial role in enhancing belowground ecosystem function.

  • The ratio of predator-to-prey biomass is a key element in food webs. Here, the authors report a unified analysis of predator-prey biomass scaling in complex food webs, finding general patterns of sub-linear scaling across ecosystems and levels of organization.

  • Analysing a database of >200,000 feeding links between >5,000 species in terrestrial and aquatic food webs, the authors show that specific trait combinations can be used to predict which predator species are characterized by high body-mass ratio interactions with their prey.

  • 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.
