Across the globe, temperatures are predicted to increase with consequences for many
taxonomic groups. Arthropods are particularly at risk as temperature imposes physiological …

Most forecasts for the future state of ecological systems are conducted once and never
updated or assessed. As a result, many available ecological forecasts are not based on the …

Throughout time, operational laws and concepts from complex systems have been
employed to quantitatively model important aspects and interactions in nature and society …

Ecological forecasting models play an increasingly important role for managing natural
resources and assessing our fundamental knowledge of processes driving ecological …

While studies increasingly document long‐term change in community composition, whether
long‐term change occurs gradually or via rapid reorganization events remains unclear. We …

Quantification of rates and patterns of community dynamics is central for understanding the
organization and function of ecosystems. These insights may support a greater empirical …

Much work in ecology has focused on understanding how changes in community diversity
and composition will affect the temporal stability of communities (the degree of fluctuations in …

Invasive plant species reduce the diversity of natives by altering habitats or disturbance
regimes, but it is less clear whether they do so via competitive exclusion. Here, we show that …

For many species, a well documented response to anthropogenic climate change is a shift in
various aspects of its life history, including its timing or phenology. Often, these phenological …

In multitrophic systems, the diversity of consumers can affect the abundances and temporal
stability of the species they consume via 'top‐down'effects. However, little is known about …
