Journal ArticleDOI

Forest Isbell,Andrew Gonzalez,M. Loreau,Jane Cowles,Sandra Díaz,Andy Hector,Georgina M. Mace,David A. Wardle,David A. Wardle,Mary I. O'Connor,J. Emmett Duffy,Lindsay A. Turnbull,Patrick L. Thompson,Anne Larigauderie +13 more
TL;DR: Biodiversity loss substantially diminishes several ecosystem services by altering ecosystem functioning and stability, especially at the large temporal and spatial scales that are most relevant for policy and conservation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The geography of biodiversity change in marine and terrestrial assemblages.

Myers-Smith,Marten Winter,Anne D. Bjorkman,Diana E. Bowler,Jarrett E. K. Byrnes,Andrew Gonzalez,Jes Hines,Forest Isbell,Holly P. Jones,Laetitia M. Navarro,Patrick L. Thompson,Mark Vellend,Conor Waldock,Maria Dornelas +24 more
TL;DR: Examining spatial variation in species richness and composition change using more than 50,000 biodiversity time series from 239 studies found clear geographic variation in biodiversity change, suggesting that biodiversity change may be spatially structured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acceleration of cyanobacterial dominance in north temperate-subarctic lakes during the Anthropocene.
Zofia E. Taranu,Irene Gregory-Eaves,Peter R. Leavitt,Lynda Bunting,Teresa Buchaca,Jordi Catalan,Isabelle Domaizon,Piero Guilizzoni,Andrea Lami,Suzanne McGowan,Suzanne McGowan,Heather Moorhouse,Giuseppe Morabito,Frances R. Pick,Mark A. Stevenson,Patrick L. Thompson,Rolf D. Vinebrooke +16 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that cyanobacterial biomass has declined in some managed lakes with reduced nutrient influx, and the larger spatio-temporal scale of sedimentary records show continued increases in cyanobacteria throughout the north temperate-subarctic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming shifts top-down and bottom-up control of pond food web structure and function
Jonathan B. Shurin,Jessica L. Clasen,Hamish S. Greig,Hamish S. Greig,Pavel Kratina,Pavel Kratina,Patrick L. Thompson,Patrick L. Thompson +7 more
TL;DR: It is found that higher temperatures produced top-heavy food webs with lower biomass of benthic and pelagic producers, equivalent biomass of zooplankton, zoobenthos and Pelagic bacteria, and more pelagic viruses.
Journal ArticleDOI
Warming modifies trophic cascades and eutrophication in experimental freshwater communities
Pavel Kratina,Hamish S. Greig,Patrick L. Thompson,Patrick L. Thompson,Ticiana S. A. Carvalho-Pereira,Ticiana S. A. Carvalho-Pereira,Jonathan B. Shurin,Jonathan B. Shurin +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that higher temperatures may shift the control of primary production in freshwater ponds toward stronger top-down and weaker bottom-up effects, and the dampened temporal variability of algal biomass under eutrophication at higher temperatures suggests that warming may stabilize some ecosystem processes.
