Pools "on the rocks" : freshwater rock pools as model system in ecological and evolutionary research [PDF]

, 2010
Rock pools inarguably exhibit a number of characteristics which make them attractive as a model system in ecological and evolutionary research. They are usually small, pristine, clearly delineated and structurally simple systems that occur on a global ...

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...

Integrating modelling of biodiversity composition and ecosystem function [PDF]

, 2015
There is increasing reliance on ecological models to improve our understanding of how ecological systems work, to project likely outcomes under alternative global change scenarios and to help develop robust management strategies.

Temporal community change in stream ecosystems varies by assemblage across US climates

Functional Ecology, EarlyView.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Ecosystem properties are temporally dynamic. Temporal variability has been shown to decrease with increasing levels of biological organization (i.e. from population to community and ecosystem levels).

On the Origins and Control of Community Types in the Human Microbiome

, 2016
Microbiome-based stratification of healthy individuals into compositional categories, referred to as "community types", holds promise for drastically improving personalized medicine. Despite this potential, the existence of community types and the degree

A Bayesian classification model to reconstruct lifetime movement patterns of riverine fish using environmental tracers

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Environmental tracers, including both elemental concentrations and isotope ratios, are widely used to reconstruct the movement patterns of animals throughout landscapes. The methodology involves creating a map that describes the distribution of the environmental tracer across the landscape, an isoscape and then matching the values of the same ...

Graph tools for analysing trophic assemblies in the isotopic space

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract A large amount of information on the trophic assembly of ecosystems is summarized in the isotopic space, and metrics for extracting this information are essential. Here, we show how the characterization of the isotopic space as an isotopic‐network of organisms linked by their trophic similarity significantly expands the isotopic toolbox for ...

Comprehensive Sampling Across Seasons and Habitats Revealed the Composition and Functional Attributes of Gut Microbiota Enterotypes in Subterranean Rodents

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
The gut microbiota of Gansu zokor is classified into two enterotypes, which exhibit distinct seasonal and habitat distributions, microbial diversity, and community compositions dominated by different Bacillota‐to‐Bacteroidota ratios. These enterotypes correlate with host body size and are characterized by unique probiotic and pathogenic biomarkers ...

Master stability functions reveal diffusion-driven pattern formation in networks [PDF]

, 2018
We study diffusion-driven pattern-formation in networks of networks, a class of multilayer systems, where different layers have the same topology, but different internal dynamics.
