Developing a macroecology for human‐altered ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Although anthropogenically‐induced ecological disruptions are fundamentally important in defining ecosystem properties, they are largely overlooked by macroecological theory. Anthropogenic disruptions and their effects are generally not comparable to one another, nor to disturbances that are part of natural disturbance regimes.

PondNet – towards a global network of experiments on the effects of climate change on aquatic ecosystems

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Global change is reshaping the distribution of biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Predicting the long‐term consequences of such changes remains a challenge due to a need for a clear understanding of the mechanisms underpinning ecosystem‐level responses, as well as the role of geographical and environmental contingencies.

Consumer diversity drives stronger predation in tropical marine communities

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Biotic interactions are predicted to be stronger in the tropics compared to higher latitudes, contributing to observed patterns of global biodiversity. While increased consumer diversity and more complex food webs are expected in tropical communities, the trophic dynamics underlying strong regional effects of predation are not well understood.

Satellite hindcasts of foliar traits reveal a subtle but consistent relaxation of conservativeness in a biodiverse mountain grassland over the last four decades

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Projected warming and drying raise concerns about the resilience of stress‐adapted ecosystems, including the Brazilian Campo Rupestre, an exceptionally biodiverse mountaintop grassland mosaic on ancient, nutrient‐poor substrates. Here, we combine field‐based trait data and long‐term remote sensing to assess the functional structure and temporal ...

Spatial distribution of acoustic traits in bird assemblages along regional bioclimatic gradients

open access: yesEcography, EarlyView.
Environmental variation shapes acoustic interactions among birds, creating spatial structures in the sonic signature of local species assemblages. Exploring these patterns at regional scales can reveal processes that segregate acoustic strategies along environmental gradients.
