Journal ArticleDOI
Increased temperature variation poses a greater risk to species than climate warming

TL;DR: This work couple fine-grained climate projections to thermal performance data from 38 ectothermic invertebrate species and contrast projections with those of a simple model to show that projections based on mean temperature change alone differ substantially from those incorporating changes to the variation, and to the mean and variation in concert.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neutrality, niches, and dispersal in a temperate forest understory.
TL;DR: The results indicate that testing a neutral hypothesis without accounting for environmental gradients will at best cause unexplained variation in plant distributions and may well provide misleading support for neutrality because of a correlation between geographic distance and environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plant invasions and the niche
TL;DR: It is shown how successful invader establishment depends on either a fitness advantage or niche difference from resident species, but that only the former allows invaders to become dominant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Partitioning variation in ecological communities: do the numbers add up?
TL;DR: Several common applications of variation partitioning in ecology now appear inappropriate, and the appropriate uses of these analyses in research programmes are clarified, and potential steps to improve them are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A bioenergetic framework for the temperature dependence of trophic interactions.

TL;DR: This framework provides a mechanistic and more unified understanding of the temperature dependence of trophic dynamics in terms of ecological rates, biomass ratios and stability and characterises key asymmetries in species responses to temperature that produce these distinct dynamic behaviours.
