Functional Motifs in Foodwebs and Networks
Melanie Habermann, Ashkaan K. Fahimipour, Justin D. Yeakel +1
When studying a complex system it is often useful to think of the system as a network of interacting units. One can then ask if some properties of the entire network are already ex…
Coarse-Graining Cascades Within Food Webs
Justin D. Yeakel
Quantifying population dynamics is a fundamental challenge in ecology and evolutionary biology, particularly for species that are cryptic, microscopic, or extinct. Traditional appr…
Bioenergetic trophic trade-offs determine mass-dependent extinction thresholds across the Cenozoic
Justin D. Yeakel, Matthew C. Hutchinson, Christopher P. Kempes +3
Body size drives the energetic demands of organisms, constraining trophic interactions between species and playing a significant role in shaping the feasibility of species' populat…
On the dynamics of mortality and the ephemeral nature of mammalian megafauna
Taran Rallings, Christopher P. Kempes, Justin D. Yeakel
Energy flow through consumer-resource interactions is largely determined by body size. Allometric relationships govern the dynamics of populations by impacting rates of reproductio…
Caching in or falling back at the Sevilleta
Justin D. Yeakel, Uttam Bhat, Seth D. Newsome
Foraging in uncertain environments requires balancing the risks associated with finding alternative resources against potential gains. In aridland environments characterized by ext…
Diverse interactions and ecosystem engineering stabilize community assembly
Justin D. Yeakel, Mathias M. Pires, Marcus A. M. de Aguiar +4
The complexity of an ecological community can be distilled into a network, where diverse interactions connect species in a web of dependencies. Species interact not only with each…
