Temperature dependence of trophic interactions are driven by asymmetry of species responses and foraging strategy
Environmental temperature has systematic effects on rates of species interactions, primarily
through its influence on organismal physiology. We present a mechanistic model for the …

Discontinuities, cross‐scale patterns, and the organization of ecosystems
Ecological structures and processes occur at specific spatiotemporal scales, and
interactions that occur across multiple scales mediate scale‐specific (eg, individual …

Transdisciplinary application of cross-scale resilience
The cross-scale resilience model was developed in ecology to explain the emergence of
resilience from the distribution of ecological functions within and across scales, and as a tool …

[PDF][PDF] A comparison of statistical tools for identifying modality in body mass distributions
The assessment of modality or “bumps” in distributions is of interest to scientists in many
areas. We compare the performance of four statistical methods to test for departures from …

Habitat structure and body size distributions: Cross‐ecosystem comparison for taxa with determinate and indeterminate growth
Habitat structure across multiple spatial and temporal scales has been proposed as a key
driver of body size distributions for associated communities. Thus, understanding the …

Body size diversity and frequency distributions of Neotropical cichlid fishes (Cichliformes: Cichlidae: Cichlinae)
SE Steele, H Lopez-Fernandez - PLoS One, 2014 - journals.plos.org
Body size is an important correlate of life history, ecology and distribution of species. Despite
this, very little is known about body size evolution in fishes, particularly freshwater fishes of …

Similar resilience attributes in lakes with different management practices
Liming has been used extensively in Scandinavia and elsewhere since the 1970s to
counteract the negative effects of acidification. Communities in limed lakes usually return to …

Linking genotype, ecotype, and phenotype in an intensively managed large carnivore
Numerous factors influence fitness of free‐ranging animals, yet often these are
uncharacterized. We integrated GPS habitat use data and genetic profiling to determine their …

Patterns in estuarine macrofauna body size distributions: the role of habitat and disturbance impact
Abstract Schwinghamer's (1981) habitat architecture hypothesis for body mass spectra in
marine sediments predicts a single macrofauna mode in response to the bulk nature of the …

Zooming in on size distribution patterns underlying species coexistence in Baltic Sea phytoplankton
AS Downing, S Hajdu, O Hjerne, SA Otto… - Ecology …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
Scale is a key to determining which processes drive community structure. We analyse size
distributions of phytoplankton to determine time scales at which we can observe either fixed …
