No complexity–stability relationship in empirical ecosystems

A long-standing ecological hypothesis is that complexity should decrease stability in food webs. Here, Jacquet and colleagues analyse over 100 real-world food webs and show that complexity does not decrease stability, but that a high frequency of weak species interactions stabilizes complex food web...
