Urbanization creates novel ecosystems comprised of species assemblages and
environments with no natural analogue. Moreover, irrigation can alter plant function …

The occurrence of multi‐year drought is predicted to increase globally with climate change.
However, it is unclear whether drought effects on ecosystems are progressive through time …

Globally, temperate deciduous forests are threatened by invasion of non‐native (exotic)

Coral-associated bacteria and Symbiodiniaceae are critical for maintaining the health of
their coral hosts. Factors that are known to affect the coral microbiome include …

Studies of succession have a long history in ecology, but rigorous tests of general, unifying
principles are rare. One barrier to these tests of theory is the paucity of longitudinal studies …

Stream restorations are increasingly critical for managing and recovering freshwater
biodiversity in human‐dominated landscapes. However, few studies have quantified how …

Virus–microbe interactions have been studied in great molecular details for many years in
cultured model systems, yielding a plethora of knowledge on how viruses use and …

There is increasing interest in measuring ecological stability to understand how communities
and ecosystems respond to broad‐scale global changes. One of the most common …

Annual insect abundances are determined by short‐term population fluctuations and long‐
term trends in community composition. Any assessment of this temporal variability needs …
