Elevated Atmospheric CO2 Increases Root Exudation of Carbon in Wetlands: Results from the First Free-Air CO2 Enrichment Facility (FACE) in a Marshland
Experiments employing free-air CO2 enrichment (FACE) facilities have indicated that elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (eCO2) stimulates growth in diverse terrestrial ecosystems. Studies of the effects of eCO2 o...

Adaptive invasive species distribution models: a framework for modeling incipient invasions
The utilization of species distribution model(s) (SDM) for approximating, explaining, and predicting changes in species’ geographic locations is increasingly promoted for proactive ecological management. Altho...

Spatial Patterns and Functional Redundancies in a Changing Boreal Lake Landscape
Global transformations extend beyond local habitats; therefore, larger-scale approaches are needed to assess community-level responses and resilience to unfolding environmental changes. Using long-term data (1...

Linking degradation status with ecosystem vulnerability to environmental change
Environmental change can cause regime shifts in ecosystems, potentially threatening ecosystem services. It is unclear if the degradation status of ecosystems correlates with their vulnerability to environmenta...

Temporal dynamics of bird community composition: an analysis of baseline conditions from long-term data
Numerous anthropogenic activities threaten the biodiversity found on earth. Because all ecological communities constantly experience temporal turnover due to natural processes, it is important to distinguish b...

Panarchy: Theory and Application
The concept of panarchy provides a framework that characterizes complex systems of people and nature as dynamically organized and structured within and across scales of space and time. It has been more than a ...

Tracing alpha, beta, and gamma diversity responses to environmental change in boreal lakes
Boreal lakes undergo broad-scale environmental change over time, but biodiversity responses to these changes, particularly at macroecological scales, are not well known. We studied long-term trends (1992–2009)...

Identifying resilience mechanisms to recurrent ecosystem perturbations
The complex nature of ecological systems limits the unambiguous determination of mechanisms that drive resilience to natural disturbance or anthropogenic stress. Using eight-year time series data from boreal l...

Phytoplankton community similarity in a semiarid floodplain under contrasting hydrological connectivity regimes
In this study we compare phytoplankton community similarity between sites in a semiarid floodplain wetland over a 6-year period with variable hydroperiod and connectivity regimes. Phytoplankton communities sho...

No diapause prolongation response of Daphnia in the presence of planktivorous mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki)
Recent research suggests that planktonic organisms in resting stages can perceive predators chemically and delay hatching to evade predation. Using a co-occurring predator–prey pair (Gambusia holbrooki Girard and...

Life-cycle studies and culture experiments for identification of doubtful volvocacean organisms — observations on Pandorina and Eudorina
Traditionally, the volvocacean genera Pandorina and Eudorina are distinguished by vegetative morphology: Eudorina has hollow coenobia with loosely arranged spherical to ovoid cells, whereas Pandorina coenobia are...
