Eco-evolutionary modelling involves the coupling of ecological equations to evolutionary ones. The interaction between ecological dynamics and evolutionary processes is essential to simulating evolutionary branching, a precursor to speciation. The creation and maintenance of biodiversity in models depends upon their ability to capture the dynamics of evolutionary branching. Understanding these systems requires low-dimension mo...
Coral reefs are important regional sources of biogenic sulfur to the tropical marine atmosphere, through stress-induced emissions of dimethylsulfide (DMS). Recent estimates suggest that the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia emits 0.02-0.05 Tg yr -1 of DMS (equivalent to 0.010-0.026 Tg yr -1 S), with potential implications for local aerosol-cloud processes. However, the impact of ocean warming on DMS emissions from coral reef...
Marine dimethylsulfide (DMS) is an important source of natural sulfur to the atmosphere, with potential implications for the Earth’s radiative balance. Coral reefs are important regional sources of DMS, yet their contribution is not accounted for in global DMS climatologies or in model simulations. This study accounts for coral-reef-derived DMS and investigates its influence on the atmosphere of the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), A...

Signals from the south; humpback whales carry messages of Antarctic sea‐ice ecosystem variabilityNARA Subscribed
Southern hemisphere humpback whales ( Megaptera novaeangliae ) rely on summer prey abundance of Antarctic krill ( Euphausia superba ) to fuel one of the longest‐known mammalian migrations on the planet. It is hypothesized that this species, already adapted to endure metabolic extremes, will be one of the first Antarctic consumers to show measurable physiological change in response to fluctuating prey availability in a changing...
