#idw #Climate Marine heatwaves pose problems for coastal #plankton

Temperatures around the world continue to rise – and the #NorthSea is no exception. Yet, in addition to this gradual #warming, increasingly frequent and intense heat events also have consequences for marine organisms. When heatwaves are added, however, these alterations are amplified. The results have been published in three publications, most recently in #Limnology and #Oceanography.

📘 New #DynaTrait synthesis paper online, led by Ellen van Velzen: "Flexibility in Aquatic Food Web Interactions: Linking Scales and Approaches"

SpringerLinkFlexibility in Aquatic Food Web Interactions: Linking Scales and Approaches - EcosystemsTrophic interactions determine food web structure and influence biodiversity, community structure, ecosystem functioning, and food web responses to global change. These interactions are highly flexible, changing on temporal scales from diurnal to evolutionary times due to phenotypic plasticity, rapid evolution and species sorting. Small-scale experimental and theoretical studies of plankton interactions have demonstrated a high relevance of this flexibility for community dynamics and ecosystem processes in small, simplified communities. However, the extent to which this flexibility affects larger-scale systems, for example, global ocean dynamics and their responses to global change, is still poorly understood. Differences in methodology, focus and terminology between research disciplines limit our ability to project established effects of flexible trophic interactions onto larger spatial and temporal scales. We propose to bridge this gap with a general framework for upscaling knowledge from small-scale research to large-scale models. Building on examples from plankton communities, we use this framework to show how mechanisms demonstrated in small-scale studies can be linked to ecosystem functions relevant at large scales. We argue for incorporating flexibility in large-scale process-based models to improve their realism and predictive power, and discuss challenges and ways forward for achieving this. Finally, we suggest several concrete ways for upscaling small-scale studies to make their findings more relevant for large-scale research, to close existing knowledge gaps and to improve our understanding of how flexible trophic interactions affect dynamics and processes across scales.

Our lab at Fisheries and Oceans Canada #DFO was involved in the Feb 2022 binational "Winter Grab" which near simultaneously sampled all of the Laurentian #GreatLakes. Many partners across the basin including academics, students and government scientists took part. All of the data collected has now been posted and is available this week to anyone to use. Here is the new data paper in Limnology and Oceanography Letters.

hello I will do an #introduction

i am not coming from twitter but thought i would use this opportunity to join one of the few internet applications that i think is cool and would like to support.

i find joy in #wildlife #birding #conservation and probably will use this site mostly as a repository for my pictures of birds and other animals that i see around #ottawa and #easternontario where i live

will follow people doing interesting work in #ecology, #CommunityScience, #CitizenScience, #limnology

i will also boost tech industry critics who do good research and write about silicon valley hubris and the harms caused by the internet

politically i feel some affinity towards #luddism #ecosocialism #marxism #DialecticalBiology #SocialEcology #PoliticalEcology #anticapitalism #ConvivialConservation but i am not particularly dogmatic or sectarian and currently lack the energy to argue about politics on the internet; and will connect with people who share common interests even if they are not philosophically or politically aligned with me (exceptions apply but these are already covered by the community rules for this instance)

other interests include #FolkHorror #FolkHorrorRevival #HorrorFiction #CosmicHorror #NatureHorror #FairyHorror #LandscapeHorror and #horror in general; as well as music, particularly #metal #punk and more lately, #ambient; i guess in some ways a synthesis of this would be anything related to #hauntology #psychogeography and the #weird
