Mapping functional relationships between multiple ecosystem services (ES) reveals previously unidentified areas of high ES value, which suggests that the spatial focus of planning for optimal ES provisioning may shift when relationships between several ES are considered.

Experimental Piper gardens across five neotropical sites reveal complex contingencies in the influence of species and population-level biodiversity on the flow of resources to insect herbivores and ecosystem resilience to changes in water availability.

Whereas theories of ecological diversity mostly consider continuously supplied nutrients, a seasonal model uncovers a general mechanism that controls diversity and reconciles conflicting experimental findings.

Uphill migrations of lowland plants into warming alpine ecosystems may yield a positive climate feedback by accelerating soil microbial respiration and decreasing soil carbon content.

Aquatic animals cocultured with rice in paddy ecosystems can increase food production, improve nitrogen (N)-use efficiency, and maintain soil fertility by reducing weeds, and promoting recycle and complementary use of N.

Intraspecific predator interference enables a wide range of consumer species to coexist with a limited variety of resources, explaining the paradox of the plankton and species diversity patterns across ecosystems.

Soil microbial diversity loss destabilizes the ability of the soil to function because greater diversity is needed to maintain temporal and functional asynchrony among different microbes.

Trait-based metagenomic analysis of an ecosystem fertilization experiment shows that genomic traits that affect the costs and rates of biochemical information-processing mediate community assembly.

The NWB data language enables reproduction, interchange, and reuse of diverse neurophysiology data, and the design principles of NWB are generally applicable to enhance discovery across biology through data FAIRness.

The consequences of real-world biodiversity change for ecosystem functioning depend on the type of global change driver and can be particularly significant when human activities decrease biodiversity.
