We explored the implications of reaching the Paris Agreement Objective of limiting global warming to Alle alle , Fratercula arctica , Uria aalge , Uria lomvia and Rissa tridactyla ) using tracking data for ~1500 individuals through resource selection functions based on mechanistic modeling of seabird energy requirements, and a dynamic bioclimate envelope model of seabird prey. Future winter distributions were predicted to shif...

Aims Extensive knowledge of perennial forage root systems is essential, given their critical role in below-ground C input. Methods Root length and diameter were quantified periodically from 2016 to 2018 with minirhizotrons in a field experiment with three forage management systems: mixture of timothy ( Phleum pratense L.) and tall fescue ( Festuca arundinacea Schreb.) fertilized with (i) dairy cattle slurry or (ii) calcic ammo...

Determining statistical patterns irrespective of interacting agents (i.e. macroecology) is useful to explore the mechanisms driving population fluctuations and extinctions in natural food webs. Here, we tested four predictions of a neutral model on the distribution of community fluctuations ( CF ) and the distributions of persistence times ( APT ). Novel predictions for the food web were generated by combining (1) body size–de...

Aim To analyse the dependence of phytoplankton species richness on temperature within the framework of the metabolic theory of ecology ( MTE ) with explicit consideration of its assumptions and predictions. Location Lakes from the S outhern H emisphere – S outh A merica ( A rgentinean P ampa to T ierra del F uego) and A ntarctica – and N orthern H emisphere – N orth A merica ( USA ) and E urope ( D enmark to S pain). Methods T...
