Variability of functional and biodiversity responses to perturbations is predictable and informative

The paper shows that variability in community-level responses to perturbations is predictable and provides insights into hidden features of ecosystem functions and species responses.

The speed of sight: individual variation in critical flicker fusion thresholds

This study examines variation in critical flicker fusion thresholds among and within healthy individuals, finding substantial between-individual differences and some within-individual variation, particularly in females.

Identifying the limits where variation in consumer stable isotope values reflect variation in diet

The paper examines how variation in consumer stable isotope values relates to diet variability and other confounding factors, showing how quantitative corrections can improve interpretation.

Heating tolerance of ectotherms is explained by temperature's non-linear influence on biological rates

The paper shows that ectotherms' heating tolerance is consistent across acclimation temperatures when accounting for temperature's non-linear effects on biological rates.

Alternate patterns of temperature variation bring about very different disease outcomes at different mean temperatures

The paper shows that different temperature variation patterns significantly affect disease outcomes in Daphnia magna infected with Ordospora colligata, independent of mean temperature.

Fitness and community feedbacks: the two axes that drive long-term invasion impacts

The paper develops an analytical method to predict long-term community impacts of invasions by considering fitness and feedback mechanisms across different ecological models.
