DOI: 10.1002/aqc.2996
Abstract: Prairie streams are dynamic systems in which habitat patches are sporadically created and lost during extreme hydrological events. The persistence of fish species depends on life‐history traits that facilitate their widespread dispersal to recolonize habitats… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-018-0272-y
Abstract: Understanding drivers of ecosystem structure and function is a pervasive goal in academic and applied research. We used 24 synthetic ecosystem-level indices derived from trophic models, and independently derived data for Net Primary Productivity, to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pocean.2019.102145
Abstract: Abstract Little is known about ecosystem structure and nutrient flux in the pelagic zone of seasonal upwelling systems in the tropics, despite their global importance to marine production. The Tropical Eastern Pacific (TEP) is responsible… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.15473
Abstract: Modified fish behaviors in response to anthropogenic stressors, such as chemicals, microplastics, acoustic emissions and fisheries, are a debated driver of change in freshwater ecosystems and oceans. Our ability to judge the severity of observed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.16646
Abstract: Although our observing capabilities of solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) have been growing rapidly, the quality and consistency of SIF datasets are still in an active stage of research and development. As a result, there are… read more here.

DOI: 10.1643/ce-16-517
Abstract: While previous studies have shown that evolutionary divergence alters ecological processes in small-scale experiments, a major challenge is to assess whether such evolutionary effects are important in natural ecosystems at larger spatial scales. At the… read more here.
