Studies of spatial population synchrony constitute a central approach for understanding the
drivers of ecological dynamics. Recently, identifying the ecological impacts of climate …

The world is spatially autocorrelated. Both abiotic and biotic properties are more similar
among neighboring than distant locations, and their temporal co‐fluctuations also decrease …

Although climatic forcing has been suspected to be the most common cause of spatial
population synchrony owing to the Moran effect, it has proved difficult to disentangle the …

Population spatial synchrony—the tendency for temporal population fluctuations to be
correlated across locations—is common and important to metapopulation stability and …

Spatial synchrony, the tendency for populations across space to show correlated
fluctuations, is a fundamental feature of population dynamics, linked to central topics of …

Spatial synchrony, defined as correlated temporal fluctuations among populations, is a
fundamental feature of population dynamics, but many aspects of synchrony remain poorly …

The recent interest in the spatial structure and dynamics of populations motivated numerous
theoretical and empirical studies of spatial synchrony, the tendency of populations to …

Phenology is increasingly recognized as an important factor structuring communities
because it determines when and at what life stage organisms interact. Previous work …

Evidence for synchronous fluctuations of spatially separated populations is ubiquitous in the
literature, including accounts within and across taxa. Among the few mechanisms explaining …

There is considerable debate over the relative importance of dispersal and environmental
disturbances (the Moran effect) as causes of spatial synchrony in fluctuations of animal …
