🚨NEW PAPER!🚨

Networking nutrients: How nutrition determines the structure of ecological networks

We provide a synthesis on the interface between nutritional and network ecology and demonstrate its potential for ecological research.

Check out this article about our latest paper on spider foraging and nutrition, published recently in @Oikos_Journal! 🕷️🍽️🕸️🧬 https://t.co/stQfphWfAb

[Rothamsted Research @Rothamsted]

Along came a spider🕷️ ...and very carefully chose what to eat. Seems the picky arachnids only plump for tasty prey 🪲🪰 that match their nutritional needs. Could we use this fussy eating to help control pests? @JordanCuff @ForagingEcology
