Extinction risk forecasting typically relies on comparing thermal tolerance data to predicted shifts in thermal distributions. However, changing temporal sequencing of temperatures may exacerbate the....

Job Summary A Postdoctoral Investigator (PDI) position is available in the Biology Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) to study environmental impacts on plankton food webs an...

Disturbances can occur as short-lived pulses (e.g., storms) or sustained presses (e.g., chronic drought). Much work in ecology has developed methods to help predict how natural populations respond to...

Validating theoretical models against empirical data presents challenges. Here the authors present an assumption-light method to validate ecological models against time series data, along with a dedic...

Coexistence is simultaneously one of the most fundamental concepts of ecology, and one of the most difficult to define. A particular challenge is that, despite a well-developed body of research, seve...

Predicting regime shifts and beyond

Scientists are gaining new insights into how plankton supports life on Earth — just as climate change is changing everything.

Welcome to the Klausmeier-Litchman lab! We study empirical and theoretical community ecology, biodiversity and climate change, focusing on phytoplankton, other microbes and general theory. We use obse...
