How do temperature and resources interact to shape both population and community growth rates?
We have a model that makes predictions at both levels! And we test them with experimental data from the lab & field.
This one has been gestating for years and we're rather proud of it. Give it a read.

Ecologists recognize the importance of integrating across scales, yet our models often target specific scales. Our new paper presents models of population growth that scale up to explain community-level patterns, including interactions of temperature, light & nutrients. doi.org/10.1002/ecm....
