Contrasting Roles of Threatened and Non‐Threatened Species in European Food Webs Aim Assess the structural importance of threatened and non-threatened species within European food webs by quantifying their roles in maintaining network connectivity. Location Europe. Methods W...

Conservation requires looking beyond Red Lists alone. Across European food webs, non-threatened species play a strong role in maintaining network connectivity. With @fmestre.bsky.social @vinibastazini.bsky.social @consbiog.bsky.social @mncn-csic.bsky.social
