Quantifying marine larval dispersal to assess MPA network connectivity and inform future national and transboundary planning efforts

J. Cristiani, E. M. Rubidge, P. L. Thompson, C. Robb, M. Hessing-Lewis, M. I. O'Connor

The paper models marine larval dispersal to assess MPA network connectivity and shows that existing MPAs in British Columbia meet connectivity criteria for nearshore species.

Groundfish biodiversity change in northeast Pacific waters under projected warming and deoxygenation

P. L. Thompson, J. Nephin, S. C. Davies, A. E. Park, D. A. Lyons, C. N. Rooper, M. A. Pena, J. R. Christian, K. L. Hunter, E. Rubidge, A. M. Holdsworth

The paper projects how 34 groundfish species in the northeast Pacific will respond to warming and deoxygenation, finding shifts in distribution and biodiversity changes in shallow waters.

Macroecological variation in movement profiles: body size does not explain it all

S. Straus, C. Forbes, C. J. Little, R. M. Germain, D. A. Main, M. I. O'Connor, P. L. Thompson, A. T. Ford, D. Gravel, L. M. Guzman

The paper analyzes movement profiles across vertebrates to show that body size does not fully explain movement distances, highlighting the role of ecological and biomechanical constraints.

Scaling up biodiversity ecosystem functioning relationships: the role of environmental heterogeneity in space and time

P. L. Thompson, S. Kefi, Y. R. Zelnik, L. E. Dee, S. Wang, C. de Mazancourt, M. Loreau, A. Gonzalez

This study uses a Lotka-Volterra model to show that biodiversity required for ecosystem functioning increases with spatial or temporal scale, especially when environmental autocorrelation is low.

Disentangling metacommunity processes using multiple metrics in space and time

L. M. Guzman, P. L. Thompson, D. S. Viana, B. J. Vanschoenwinkel, Z. Horvath, R. Ptacnik, A. Jeliazkov, S. Gascon, P. Lemmens, M. T. Anton-Pardo, S. Langenheder, L. De Meester, J. Chase

The paper develops a Virtual ecologist approach to evaluate metacommunity assembly processes using spatial and temporal community structure statistics and random forests.

A process-based metacommunity framework linking local and regional scale community ecology

P. L. Thompson, L. M. Guzman, L. De Meester, Z. Horvath, R. Ptacnik, B. Vanschoenwinkel, D. S. Viana, J. Chase

This paper presents a new metacommunity framework that links local and regional ecological dynamics through three key processes and demonstrates how existing theories are connected by these processes.

The conflict between adaptation and dispersal for maintaining biodiversity in changing environments

P. L. Thompson, E. A. Fronhofer

This paper uses a stochastic metacommunity model to show that dispersal and adaptation interact in complex ways to affect biodiversity maintenance in changing environments.

Nonlinear averaging of thermal experience predicts population growth rates in a thermally variable environment

J. R. Bernhardt, J. M. Sunday, P. L. Thompson, M. I. O'Connor

The paper shows nonlinear averaging of temperature predicts population growth rates in fluctuating thermal environments for green algae and extrapolates to phytoplankton species.
