The seasonal succession of plankton is an annually repeated process of community
assembly during which all major external factors and internal interactions shaping …

Based on the observation that organism‐specific elemental content creates ecologically
relevant mismatches such as between plant and animal tissue, it was postulated—and …

In this paper, we introduce the CSPS framework for the hierarchical assessment of aquatic
ecosystem models built on a range of metrics and characteristic signatures relevant to …

Colin Reynolds exquisitely consolidated our understanding of driving forces shaping
phytoplankton communities and those setting the upper limit to biomass yield, with limitation …

The decoupling of trophic interactions is potentially one of the most severe consequences of
climate warming. In lakes and oceans the timing of phytoplankton blooms affects competition …

Diet is commonly assumed to affect the evolution of species, but few studies have directly
tested its effect at macroevolutionary scales. Here we use Bayesian models of trait …

Conventional theories of population and community dynamics are based on a single
currency such as number of individuals, biomass, carbon or energy. However, organisms …

Mechanistic understanding of consumer‐resource dynamics is critical to predicting the
effects of global change on ecosystem structure, function and services. Such understanding …

In an attempt to discern long‐term regional patterns in phytoplankton community
composition we analysed data from five deep peri‐alpine lake basins that have been …

Despite the importance of shallow lakes worldwide, knowledge of microbial components, the
base of their food webs, remains scarce. To close this gap, we investigated planktonic …
