Open AccessGlobal patterns of change and variation in sea surface temperature and chlorophyll a
Changes over the scale of decades in oceanic environments present a range of challenges for management and utilisation of ocean resources. Here we investigate sources of global temporal variation in Sea Surfac...

Abundance and richness of key Antarctic seafloor fauna correlates with modelled food availability
Most seafloor communities at depths below the photosynthesis zone rely on food that sinks through the water column. However, the nature and strength of this pelagic–benthic coupling and its influence on the st...

Deep-sea diversity patterns are shaped by energy availability
Depth-dependent patterns in ocean species diversity can be explained by latitudinal variations in energy availability, with shelf and upper-slope diversity increasing with thermal energy availability, and deep...

Model-based thinking for community ecology
In this paper, a case is made for the use of model-based approaches for the analysis of community data. This involves the direct specification of a statistical model for the observed multivariate data. Recent ...

Finite Mixture of Regression Modeling for High-Dimensional Count and Biomass Data in Ecology
Understanding how species distributions respond as a function of environmental gradients is a key question in ecology, and will benefit from a multi-species approach. Multi-species data are often high dimensio...

Invasion rates increase with species richness in a marine epibenthic community by two mechanisms
It is widely believed that, when extrinsic conditions are similar, the likelihood of species invading established assemblages decreases with increasing species richness of the recipient community. Here we show...
