Temperature variation and life history mediate the degree of nonlinearity in fluctuations of global marine fish populations
Nonlinear dynamics readily occur in natural ecosystems and can drive irregular population fluctuations through oscillations, chaos and alternative stable states. However, the effects of anthropogenic ...

New preprint! We analyzed ~500 global marine fish time series using #EmpiricalDynamicModeling and show that temperature variation amplifies nonlinearity in juveniles and adults, while life history mediates nonlinearity for the latter, dampening it in slow-lived species #Ecology #Fisheries

Empirical dynamic modeling of #eDNA data goes beyond presence/absence, allowing for the identification and quantification of species interactions through time. Check out my journal club commentary on Ushio and colleagues' exciting work, out now in @natrevbiodiv.bsky.social !
