DOI: 10.1002/ecy.4060
Abstract: Decomposing organic matter forms a substantial resource base fueling the biogeochemical function and secondary production of most aquatic ecosystems. However, detrital N (nitrogen) and P (phosphorus) dynamics remain relatively unexplored in aquatic relative to terrestrial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10021-017-0174-4
Abstract: Subsidies of detritus from donor habitats are important energy sources for many ecosystems, but understanding their role in structuring recipient food webs requires comparative experimental studies along the full spectrum of detrital fluxes. Here we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/icb/icab024
Abstract: Life history events, from mating and voltinism to migration and emergence, are governed by external and historically predictable environmental factors. The ways humans have altered natural environments during the Anthropocene have created myriad and compounding… read more here.
