Space-for-time substitution reveals partial transferability of marine biodiversity-temperature relationships

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.

Disturbance provides limited respite for native fish against invaders

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.
