Journal ArticleDOI
A bioenergetic framework for the temperature dependence of trophic interactions.
Benjamin Gilbert,Tyler D. Tunney,Kevin S. McCann,John P. DeLong,David A. Vasseur,Van M. Savage,Jonathan B. Shurin,Anthony I. Dell,Brandon T. Barton,Christopher D. G. Harley,Heather M. Kharouba,Pavel Kratina,Julia L. Blanchard,Christopher F. Clements,Monika Winder,Hamish S. Greig,Mary I. O'Connor +16 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Parasite biodiversity faces extinction and redistribution in a changing climate
Colin J. Carlson,Kevin R. Burgio,Eric R. Dougherty,Anna J. Phillips,Veronica M. Bueno,Christopher F. Clements,Giovanni Castaldo,Tad A. Dallas,Carrie A. Cizauskas,Graeme S. Cumming,Jorge Doña,Nyeema C. Harris,Roger Jovani,Sergey Mironov,Oliver Muellerklein,Heather C. Proctor,Wayne M. Getz,Wayne M. Getz +17 more
TL;DR: The most comprehensive spatially explicit data set available for parasites, projected range shifts in a changing climate, and estimated extinction rates for eight major parasite clades is compiled, finding that ectoparasites (especially ticks) fare disproportionately worse than endopar asites.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Body Size Dependence of Trophic Cascades
John P. DeLong,Benjamin Gilbert,Jonathan B. Shurin,Van M. Savage,Brandon T. Barton,Christopher F. Clements,Anthony I. Dell,Hamish S. Greig,Christopher D. G. Harley,Pavel Kratina,Kevin S. McCann,Tyler D. Tunney,David A. Vasseur,Mary I. O'Connor +13 more
TL;DR: The loss of larger predators will have greater consequences on trophic control and biomass structure in food webs than the loss of smaller predators.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Pliocene marine megafauna extinction and its impact on functional diversity
Catalina Pimiento,John N. Griffin,Christopher F. Clements,Daniele Silvestro,Daniele Silvestro,Sara Varela,Mark D. Uhen,Carlos Jaramillo +7 more
TL;DR: A previously unrecognized extinction event among marine megafauna during this time is identified, with extinction rates three times higher than in the rest of the Cenozoic, and with 36% of Pliocene genera failing to survive into the Pleistocene.
Journal ArticleDOI
Including trait-based early warning signals helps predict population collapse
TL;DR: It is shown that including information on the dynamics of phenotypic traits such as body size into composite early warning indices can produce more accurate inferences of whether a population is approaching a critical transition than using abundance time-series alone.
