Modern models of trophic meta-communities
Dispersal and foodweb dynamics have long been studied in separate models. However,
over the past decades, it has become abundantly clear that there are intricate interactions …

Exploring local adaptation and the ocean acidification seascape–studies in the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem
The California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME), a temperate marine region
dominated by episodic upwelling, is predicted to experience rapid environmental change in …

Ecosystem stability in space: α, β and γ variability
The past two decades have seen great progress in understanding the mechanisms of
ecosystem stability in local ecological systems. There is, however, an urgent need to extend …

Dynamics of coastal meta‐ecosystems: the intermittent upwelling hypothesis and a test in rocky intertidal regions
The intermittent upwelling hypothesis (IUH) predicts that the strength of ecological subsidies,
organismal growth responses, and species interactions will vary unimodally along a …

Increasing instability of a rocky intertidal meta-ecosystem
Climate change threatens to destabilize ecological communities, potentially moving them
from persistently occupied “basins of attraction” to different states. Increasing variation in key …

[PDF][PDF] Synchrony: quantifying variability in space and time.
There is growing recognition that linking patterns to their underlying processes in
interconnected and dynamic ecological systems requires data sampled at multiple spatial …

Climate-mediated shifts in temperature fluctuations promote extinction risk
Climate-mediated changes in thermal stress can destabilize animal populations and
promote extinction risk. However, risk assessments often focus on changes in mean …

Coastal fronts set recruitment and connectivity patterns across multiple taxa
We show that ocean fronts set recruitment patterns among both community‐building
invertebrates and commercially important fishes in nearshore intertidal and rocky reef …

Ecosystems are marvelous assemblages of individuals that grow, reproduce, interact with
one another, move about in space, and eventually die. Ecosystems also provide essential …

Are meta‐ecosystems organized hierarchically? A model and test in rocky intertidal habitats
Ecosystems are shaped by processes occurring and interacting over multiple temporal and
spatial scales. Theory suggests such complexity can be simplified by focusing on processes …
