Applied ecology has traditionally approached management problems through a simplified,
single-species lens. Repeated failures of single-species management have led us to a new …

Ecological communities face a variety of environmental and anthropogenic stressors acting
simultaneously. Stressor impacts can combine additively or can interact, causing synergistic …

Zooplankton are the primary energy pathway from phytoplankton to fish. Yet, there is limited
understanding about how climate change will modify zooplankton communities and the …

Ectotherms generally shrink under experimental warming, but whether this pattern extends
to wild populations is uncertain. We analysed ten million visual survey records, spanning the …

The belowground compartment of terrestrial ecosystems drives nutrient cycling, the
decomposition and stabilisation of organic matter, and supports aboveground life …

Transfer efficiency is the proportion of energy passed between nodes in food webs. It is an
emergent, unitless property that is difficult to measure, and responds dynamically to …

The sustainability of coral reef fisheries is jeopardized by complex and interacting socio-
ecological stressors that undermine their contribution to food and nutrition security. Climate …

Global warming in ocean ecosystems alters temperature, acidification, oxygen content,
circulation, stratification, and nutrient inputs. Microorganisms play a dominant role in global …

Climate change is warming the ocean and impacting lower trophic level (LTL) organisms.
Marine ecosystem models can provide estimates of how these changes will propagate to …

In a warmer Arctic with less sea ice and stronger stratification, the environmental changes
are expected to impact the pelagic food web, but few biological studies supporting this exist …
