Rapid trait adaptation has contrasting effects on different dimensions of stability under environmental change

This study shows that rapid trait adaptation can increase compositional stability but may reduce resilience, with mixed effects on overall community stability under environmental change.

Acclimation response type shapes temporal stability of cyanobacterial communities under thermal fluctuations

This study shows that acute acclimation responses, not chronic ones, determine the temporal stability of cyanobacterial communities under thermal fluctuations.

Fungal-bacterial interaction unaffected by heatwave conditions

The paper investigates how heatwave conditions affect bacterial-fungal interactions, finding no temperature effect on interaction strength but fungal acidification inhibiting bacteria.

Functional and biological diversity jointly shape growth and recovery of Synechococcus communities under stressors.

This study examines how functional and biological diversity affect the growth and recovery of Synechococcus communities under different stressors.

Warming and species richness weaken eco-phenotypic feedback loop in long-term natural ecosystems.

This study shows that warming and species richness reduce eco-phenotypic feedback, while mean body size increases it, using long-term ecosystem data.

Weak dispersal and landscape size inevitably promote local biodiversity in heterogeneous metacommunities of competing species

The paper explains how weak dispersal and larger landscapes increase local biodiversity in competitive species by linking spatial coexistence to nonspatial competitive dynamics and validates this with simulations and field data.

Network theory predicts ecosystem robustness across environmental conditions

The paper constructs link-species relationships across 18 ecosystems to show that the log(L) ~ log(S) relationship remains constant despite environmental changes, indicating consistent ecosystem robustness.

Trait and Growth Responses to Sequential Environmental Change linked to Sensitivity in Synechococcus populations

This study examines how sequential environmental stressors affect Synechococcus populations, revealing legacy effects and strain-specific responses to environmental change.

Destabilizing effects of eco-evolutionary feedback on community stability and the role of climate change

The paper shows eco-evolutionary feedback can destabilize community dynamics in complex systems, and warming exacerbates this effect.
