Predicting effects of multiple interacting global change drivers across trophic levels

In an opinion piece https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/gcb.16548 in Global Change Biology, Sofia van Moorsel@[email protected] et al. use a proof-of-concept model to illustrate how a reaction norms perspective can improve our ability to make predictions about community response to multiple interacting anthropogenic drivers.

#Introduction Hi Mastodon! I'm a Senior Scientist at the University of #Innsbruck detecting mostly #birds and #fish via #environmentalDNA (#eDNA) from #water samples. Additionally, I always get caught up in cool #trophicInteractions & #trophicEcology research. This profile is for sharing scientific content and of course, I’ll throw in the occasional #cat pic 😉
