Body temperature is universally recognized as a dominant driver of biological performance. Although the critical distinction between an organism and its surrounding habitat has long been recognized, it remains common practice to assume that trends in air temperature-collected via remote sensing or weather stations-are diagnostic animal thus spatiotemporal patterns physiological stress mortality risk. Here, by analysing long-term recorded biomimetic sensors designed emulate intertidal mussel...
Ecosystems experiencing pressures are at risk of rapidly transitioning (“tipping”) from one state to another. Identifying and managing these so-called tipping points continue be a challenge in marine, freshwater, terrestrial ecosystems, particularly when multiple potentially interacting drivers present. Knowledge points, the mechanisms that cause them, their implications for management practices evolving, but often isolation within specific ecological realms. Here, we summarize current...
