Community performance curves predict temporal stability despite interaction effects

The paper shows that community performance curves predict temporal stability of ecological communities despite species interactions.

Micropollutant-driven bacterial adaptation enables resilient pharmaceuticals biodegradation at trace concentrations in biologically treated wastewater.

The paper shows that microbial consortia adapted to pharmaceuticals retain degradation capacity across wide concentration ranges and can be applied to real wastewater treatment.

Expert-led priorities for a response diversity research agenda in ecology

This paper identifies barriers to response diversity research through expert surveys and proposes a coordinated research network to advance the field.

Mixed evidence for species diversity affecting ecological forecasts in constant versus declining light

This study investigates how species diversity affects ecological forecasts under constant and declining light conditions, finding mixed evidence of an interactive effect on forecast accuracy.

The imbalance of nature: The Role of Species Environmental Responses for Ecosystem Stability

This study investigates how species environmental responses affect ecosystem stability using microcosm experiments and shows that lower imbalance, through asynchrony or population stability, increases temporal stability.
