This study compares biodiversity-temperature relationships across space and time using planktonic foraminifera data, finding that space-for-time substitution captures the direction but not the magnitude of biodiversity change.

The paper uses competition models to show native fish coexist best with invaders at intermediate disturbance levels, but high disturbance alone may not ensure their survival.

The paper analyzes animal stoichiometry across species and body sizes, finding body size better predicts intraspecific than interspecific variation in elemental content.
