Atlantic bluefin tuna spawn early to avoid metabolic meltdown in larvae
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)To predict shifts in phenology and distribution of organisms we need to understand how survival through early life stages depends on environmental conditions. Here, we present a mechanistic model of development, feeding ... -
Belowground niche partitioning is maintained under extreme drought
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)Belowground niche partitioning presents a key mechanism for maintaining species coexistence and diversity. Its importance is currently reinforced by climate change that alters soil hydrological conditions. However, ... -
Changing contributions of stochastic and deterministic processes in community assembly over a successional gradient
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2017)Successional dynamics in plant community assembly may result from both deterministic and stochastic ecological processes. The relative importance of different ecological processes is expected to vary over the successional ... -
Degrees of change: between and within population variation in thermal reaction norms of phenology in a viviparous lizard
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)As the earth warms, populations will be faced with novel environments to which they may not be adapted. In the short term, populations can be buffered against the negative effects, or maximize the beneficial effects, of ... -
Growth portfolios buffer climate-linked environmental change in marine systems
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Large-scale, climate-induced synchrony in the productivity of fish populations is becoming more pronounced in the world's oceans. As synchrony increases, a population's “portfolio” of responses can be diminished, in turn ... -
Quantifying the roles of seed dispersal, filtering, and climate on regional patterns of grassland biodiversity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Seed dispersal and local filtering interactively govern community membership and scale up to shape regional vegetation patterns, but data revealing how and why particular species are excluded from specific communities in ...
