Under what conditions can trophic diversity relationships be eroded? Our Scale Invariance in Aquatic Ecosystems working group seeks to answer that very question as we study patterns in trophic diversity relationships within aquatic ecosystems where species turnover is often significant.

Our Structural Early Warning Signals in Aquatic Ecosystems working group is investigating how the basic connections between the organization and operation of ecosystems (such as the arrangement of different life stages and the structure of food webs) can be disrupted by global changes.
