Since functional biodiversity is realised through interactions, environmental impacts on this aspect of biodiversity have profound implications for maintaining key ecosystem processes and services.
We need to monitor the environment effectively and an ecological-network approach, enhanced by new molecular and informatics techniques, offers a potentially fruitful avenue to develop a new generation of biomonitoring tools. We are also very grateful for the constructive comments from David Raffaelli and two anonymous referees, which helped improve the paper from its original version.

Abstract Monitoring anthropogenic impacts is essential for managing and conserving ecosystems, yet current biomonitoring approaches lack the tools required to deal with the effects of stressors on species and their interactions in complex natural systems.
Ecological networks trophic or mutualistic can offer new insights into ecosystem degradation, adding value to current taxonomically constrained schemes. We highlight some examples to show how new network approaches can be used to interpret ecological responses. Augmenting routine biomonitoring data with interaction data derived from the literature, complemented with ground-truthed data from direct observations where feasible, allows us to begin to characterise large numbers of ecological networks across environmental gradients.
Introduction Biomonitoring programmes were born in the wake of the Industrial Revolution to measure the effects of environmental stressors on the natural world. Open in a separate window. Incorporating ecological networks into biomonitoring schemes Although potentially useful, network-based approaches must still overcome some significant challenges, particularly in terms of gathering data on interactions. Conclusions The ongoing global biodiversity crisis has received considerable attention, yet the associated losses of interactions that contribute to the degradation of ecological networks have often been overlooked.
