Can higher-order interactions resolve the species coexistence paradox?

T. L. Gibbs, G. Gellner, S. A. Levin, K. S. McCann, A. Hastings, J. M. Levine

This study investigates how higher-order species interactions can enable coexistence when pairwise interactions fail, finding that facilitative interactions are less stable than competitive ones.

Towards a multi-stressor theory for coral reefs in a changing world

C. Bieg, H. Valles, A. Tewfik, B. E. Lapointe, K. S. McCann

This paper develops a multi-stressor framework for coral reefs, showing how nutrients, harvesting, and climate change interact to drive ecosystem shifts and highlights 'signatures of change' for management.

Life history speed, population disappearances and noise-induced ratchet effects

C. J. Greyson-Gaito, G. Gellner, K. S. McCann

The paper examines how life history speed affects consumer-resource interactions, finding that slowing life history can destabilize populations under stochastic conditions due to a ratchet-like effect.

Increased brain growth in escaped rainbow trout

F. Laberge, M. K. Gutgesell, K. S. McCann

The paper shows escaped rainbow trout develop larger brains relative to body size in a natural lake environment, indicating brain size plasticity in response to environmental changes.

Spatial fingerprinting: horizontal fusion of multi-dimensional bio-tracers as solution to global food provenance problems

K. Cazelles, T. Zemlak, M. Gutgesell, E. Myles-Gonzalez, R. Hanner, K. S. McCann

This study demonstrates that combining multiple bio-tracers improves the ability to determine the geographical origin of Sockeye salmon.

Parasitoid community responds indiscriminately to fluctuating spruce budworm and other caterpillars on balsam fir

C. J. Greyson-Gaito, K. S. McCann, J. Fründ, C. J. Lucarotti, M. A. Smith, E. S. Eveleigh

The study shows parasitoid communities respond linearly and indiscriminately to budworm and caterpillar density fluctuations, altering interaction strengths and food web pathways.

Thermal preference influences depth use but not biomass of predatory fishes in response to lake morphometry

T. J. Bartley, M. M. Guzzo, K. Cazelles, A. Verville, B. C. McMeans, K. S. McCann

The paper examines how lake morphometry affects depth use and biomass of predatory fish species with different thermal preferences, finding that thermal preferences influence depth use but not biomass.

Multiple species drive flexible lake food webs with warming

T. J. Bartley, T. D. Tunney, N. P. Lester, B. J. Shuter, R. H. Hanner, K. S. McCann

The paper shows that multiple species drive flexible lake food webs with warming, but climate change limits their ability to responsively forage, undermining stabilizing mechanisms.
