Uncovering ecological state dynamics with hidden Markov models
Ecological systems can often be characterised by changes among a finite set of underlying
states pertaining to individuals, populations, communities or entire ecosystems through time …

Endothermy makes fishes faster but does not expand their thermal niche
Regional endothermy has evolved several times in marine fishes, and two competing
hypotheses are generally proposed to explain the evolutionary drivers behind this trait …
