Warming and Species Richness Weaken Eco-Phenotypic Feedback Loop in Long-Term Natural Ecosystems.

Abstract excerpt

Eco-phenotypic feedback-reciprocal interactions between phenotypic traits and ecological dynamics-is increasingly recognised as a driver of biodiversity patterns, species interactions and ecosystem functioning. Through this feedback, phenotypic traits such as body size can rapidly respond to environmental variation through plastic or evolutionary changes, altering population abundance, which in turn feeds back to...
