Toward predicting community-level effects of climate: relative temperature scaling of metabolic and ingestion rates

Creator:

Iles, Alison C.

Abstract:

Predicting the effects of climate change on ecological communities requires an understanding of how environmental factors influence both physiological processes and species interactions. Specifically, the net impact of temperature on community structure depends on the relative response of physiological energetic costs (metabolism) and energetic gains (ingestion of resources) that mediate...

Bridging environmental physiology and community ecology : temperature effects at the community level

Creator:

Iles, Alison C.

Abstract:

Most climate change predictions focus on the response of individual species to changing local conditions and ignore species interactions, largely due to the lack of a sound theoretical foundation for how interactions are expected to change with climate and how to incorporate them into climate change models. Much of the...
