Drivers of stability in plankton communities: dominance, asynchrony, and averaging effects across temporal, spatial and trophic scales

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
The origins of ecosystem stability have long intrigued ecologists. Recent theoretical advancements highlight three primary mechanisms driving stability: dominance, asynchrony and averaging. While plant community stability has been extensively studied, our understanding of marine community stability remains limited. Plankton, as key components of marine

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Forecasting the impact of food‐provisioning and other stressors on a marine top‐predator population

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Wildlife tourism can alter animal behavior, affect vital rates and diminish population viability but its impact in the context of other human‐ and environmental disturbances, remain largely unstudied. Using simulation models and leveraging a robust long‐term dataset spanning eight years, we evaluated the contribution of wildlife feeding, in the context

A plant–pollinator invasional meltdown: the Japanese pagoda tree Styphnolobium japonicum facilitates the invasion of the giant resin bee Megachile sculpturalis

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
An invasional meltdown can occur when a non‐native species facilitates the spread of another non‐native species in the invaded area, increasing its likelihood of survival or its ecological impact. Plant–pollinator systems pose an exceptional study system to test this concept, which remains poorly known.

Ecosystem engineers and functional dominance: when species loss matters for ecosystem function

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Understanding when and why species loss affects community function in natural communities remains an open question in ecology. Recent cross‐system analyses have shown that functional dominance is associated with whether species loss matters: in communities dominated by few high‐performing species, lost species contribute little to function.
