Aim Previous work demonstrated a pronounced geography of synchrony for marine
phytoplankton and used that geography to infer statistical environmental determinants of …

Aim Spatial synchrony in plankton is imperfectly understood yet may have far‐reaching
implications, for example for carbon export to the deep ocean. Several techniques have …

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

What determines the stability of communities under environmental fluctuations remains one
of the most debated questions in ecology. Scholars generally agree that the similarity in year …

Questions Compensatory dynamics are described as one of the main mechanisms that
increase community stability, eg, where decreases of some species on a year‐to‐year basis …

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 …

Synchrony defines an organism's overlap with potential resources and mates, essential for
survival and reproduction. Flowering synchrony influences gene flow within species and …

Temporal asynchrony among species helps diversity to stabilize ecosystem functioning, but
identifying the mechanisms that determine synchrony remains a challenge. Here, we refine …

Fluctuations in population abundances are often correlated through time across multiple
locations, a phenomenon known as spatial synchrony. Spatial synchrony can exhibit …

Over large areas, synchronous fluctuations in population density are often attributed to
environmental stochasticity (eg, weather) shared among local populations. This concept was …
