TL;DR: How strong remote effects of predators may essentially generate "remote control" over the dynamics of local populations, alter the persistence of metapopulations, shift the importance of particular paradigms of metacommunity structure, alter spatial subsidies, and affect evolutionary dynamics are described.

TL;DR: This is the first experiment to show that NCEs can influence the abundance of multiple prey species over time spans ofmultiple prey generations, and demonstrate that adaptive phenotypic plasticity of individuals can scale-up to affect the structure of ecological communities.

TL;DR: Wood frogs were found to be more sensitive to changes in temperature or temperature interacting with precipitation than toChanges in precipitation alone, suggesting sensitivity to change in climate cannot be predicted simply by knowing locations within the species' climate envelope.

TL;DR: A potential trade-off in susceptibility to parasites and predators, which can drive nonadditive effects that may have important consequences for natural enemy interactions in natural populations and amphibian conservation is suggested.

TL;DR: The results indicate that metapopulation dynamics act to shape the extent of species' continental distributions and are likely to interact with dispersal behaviour, particularly at species range margins, to determine range limits and ultimately species range sizes.
