Vasseur D, Fox J, Gonzalez A, Adrian R, Beisner B, Helmus M, et al.
Proc Biol Sci
. 2014 Jun;
281(1788):20140633.
PMID: 24966312
Although competing species are expected to exhibit compensatory dynamics (negative temporal covariation), empirical work has demonstrated that competitive communities often exhibit synchronous dynamics (positive temporal covariation). This has led to...

Ecol Lett
. 2014 Jun;
17(8):902-14.
PMID: 24894409
Changing temperature can substantially shift ecological communities by altering the strength and stability of trophic interactions. Because many ecological rates are constrained by temperature, new approaches are required to understand...

Vasseur D, DeLong J, Gilbert B, Greig H, Harley C, McCann K, et al.
Proc Biol Sci
. 2014 Jan;
281(1779):20132612.
PMID: 24478296
Increases in the frequency, severity and duration of temperature extremes are anticipated in the near future. Although recent work suggests that changes in temperature variation will have disproportionately greater effects...

Fox J, Legault G, Legault G, Vasseur D, Einarson J
PLoS One
. 2013 Nov;
8(11):e79527.
PMID: 24244520
Spatially-separated populations often exhibit positively correlated fluctuations in abundance and other population variables, a phenomenon known as spatial synchrony. Generation and maintenance of synchrony requires forces that rapidly restore synchrony...

DeLong J, Hanley T, Vasseur D
J Anim Ecol
. 2013 Apr;
83(1):51-8.
PMID: 23565624
Although mass and temperature are strong predictors of metabolic rates, there is considerable unexplained variation in metabolic rates both within and across species after body size and temperature are taken...

Rocha M, Vasseur D, Gaedke U
PLoS One
. 2013 Jan;
7(12):e51257.
PMID: 23300539
Gaining understanding of food-web processes often requires a simplified representation of natural diversity. One such simplification can be based on functional traits, as functionally similar species may provide a similar...

DeLong J, Vasseur D
J Anim Ecol
. 2012 Jul;
81(6):1193-1201.
PMID: 22803630
Recent work indicates that the interaction between body-size-dependent demographic processes can generate macroecological patterns such as the scaling of population density with body size. In this study, we evaluate this...

Yaari G, Ben-Zion Y, Shnerb N, Vasseur D
Ecology
. 2012 Jul;
93(5):1214-27.
PMID: 22764507
Recent theory and experimental work in metapopulations and metacommunities demonstrates that long-term persistence is maximized when the rate at which individuals disperse among patches within the system is intermediate; if...

DeLong J, Vasseur D
Ecology
. 2012 May;
93(3):470-6.
PMID: 22624202
Population abundance is negatively related to body size for many types of organisms. Despite the ubiquity of size-density scaling relationships, we lack a general understanding of the underlying mechanisms. Although...

PLoS One
. 2012 Jan;
7(1):e30081.
PMID: 22253888
Classic ecological theory suggests that resource partitioning facilitates the coexistence of species by reducing inter-specific competition. A byproduct of this process is an increase in overall community function, because a...
