Navigating trade-offs between meeting societal water needs and supporting functioning
ecosystems is integral to river management policy. Emerging frameworks provide the …

Abstract Information criteria (IC s) are used widely for data summary and model building in
ecology, especially in applied ecology and wildlife management. Although IC s are useful for …

It has become increasingly recognized that multiple processes can generate similar shapes
of species abundance distributions (SAD s), with the result that the fit of a given SAD model …

The growing number, size, and frequency of coastal hypoxia increasingly threaten marine
ecosystem health and essential ecosystem services for human well-being. It is therefore …

Environmental flow assessments are becoming increasingly central to ecologically‐
sustainable river management. Rigorous evaluations of flow–ecology relationships serve a …

Accessing many fundamental questions in biology begins with empirical estimation of
simple monotonic rates of underlying biological processes. Across a variety of disciplines …

The rapid development of mechanistic, trait‐based models has resulted in increasingly
reliable predictions of the functional diversity of individuals in populations and communities …

In recent decades, southern elephant seals (SES) have become a species of particular
importance in ocean data acquisition. The scientific community has taken advantage of …

This paper develops spatial prediction of a functional variable at unsampled sites, using
functional covariates, that is, we present a functional cokriging method. We show that …

Ground-dwelling arthropods can be important generalist predators in agroecosystems, and
can use non-crop features as overwintering habitats. However, it is unclear which types of …
