Multiple Stressors and Ecological Complexity Require A New Approach to Coral Reef Research

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2016
Ocean acidification, climate change, and other environmental stressors threaten coral reef ecosystems and the people who depend upon them. New science reveals that these multiple stressors interact and may affect a multitude of physiological and ...

Unusually Warm Summer Temperatures Exacerbate Population and Plant Level Response of Posidonia oceanica to Anthropogenic Nutrient Stress

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Posidonia oceanica is a key foundation species in the Mediterranean providing valuable ecosystem services. However, this species is particularly vulnerable towards high coastal nutrient inputs and the rising frequency of intense summer heat waves, but ...

Conservation Across Aquatic-Terrestrial Boundaries: Linking Continental-Scale Water Quality to Emergent Aquatic Insects and Declining Aerial Insectivorous Birds

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2021
Larval aquatic insects are used to assess water quality, but less attention is paid to their adult, terrestrial life stage, which is an important food resource for declining aerial insectivorous birds.

Co-infections and multiple stressors in fish [PDF]

, 2020
Fish are typically exposed to multiple physical, chemical and biological stressors. The cumulative impact of co-infections between parasites, bacteria, viruses and (a)biotic environmental pressures may trigger complex interactions, eliciting different ...

Multiple stressors in Mediterranean freshwater ecosystems: The Llobregat River as a paradigm [PDF]

, 2014
Hydrological modifications drive other ecological stressors of freshwater ecosystems and interact with them. The present paper examines the relevance of hydrological disturbances resulting from global change by presenting the case of the Llobregat River,

Combined Effects of Multiple Stressors: New Insights Into the Influence of Timing and Sequence

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2019
Complex regimes of stress arise when multiple stressors combine simultaneously, with varying degrees of temporal separation or variation in their sequential order. A manipulative field experiment was run to test whether doses of two stressors (Copper and

Perceived influence of climate variability in the context of multiple stressors on smallholder farmers in southern Mexico

, 2022
Most studies on hazards to smallholder farmers focus on the impact of climate variability on their livelihoods. However, climate variability does not exist in isolation; rather, it manifests in combination with a multiplicity of stressors.

Data Supporting 'When things don’t add up: quantifying impacts of multiple stressors from individual metabolism to ecosystem processing'

, 2017
These data were produced with an individual-based model of amphipod populations exposed to combinations of hypothetical stressors. Stressors targeted feeding, reproduction, maintenance and growth processes in individual amphipods.

Climate change, multiple stressors and human vulnerability : a systematic review [PDF]

, 2016
We systematically reviewed current climate change literature in order to examine how multiple processes that affect human vulnerability have been studied. Of the 125 reviewed articles, 79 % were published after 2009.
