1. Understanding how natural and anthropogenic drivers affect extant food webs is critical to
predicting the impacts of climate change and habitat alterations on ecosystem dynamics. 2 …

Species intolerant of changing climate might avoid extinction within refugia buffered from
extreme conditions. Refugia have been observed in the fossil record but are not well …

Invasive species are one of the greatest threats to ecosystems, disrupting ecosystem
function and leading to the collapse and extinction of native species. While populations of …

Effects of predators on prey populations can be especially strong in aquatic ecosystems, but
disturbances may mediate the strength of predator limitation and even allow outbreaks of …

Non-native fishes present a management challenge to maintaining Everglades National
Park (ENP) in a natural state. We summarized data from long-term fish monitoring studies in …

We examine temporal (seasonal) and spatial (habitat) effects on consumers' diet, trophic
position, trophic niche, and food-web topology in a subtropical oligotrophic wetland to …

Boom-bust population dynamics are long-recognized phenomena during species invasions,
but few studies documented impacts of these dynamic changes. The Florida Everglades is …

Wading bird prey populations, prey availability and wading bird nesting success are all
thought to be associated with hydrologic conditions in wetlands, but the relationship …

Drought is a common disturbance in arid-land streams and rivers. The survival of aquatic
species depends on access to refuge habitats where water quality remains high. Over the …

Hydropeaking is widely known for changing the quantity and quality of the available habitat
downstream of hydroelectric facilities, thus affecting all stages of fish life cycles …
