Author(s): Yang, LH | Abstract: © 2020 The Authors. Ecological Research published by John Wiley a Sons Australia, Ltd on behalf of The Ecological Society of Japan Although ecologists have long understood the fundamentally dynamic nature of communities, ecology has until recently seemed to emphasize other aspects of ecological complexity, such as diversity and spatial structure, ahead of temporal variation. Climate change has made studies into the temporal dimensions of community ecology more immediate and urgent, and has exposed the limits of our general understanding about how species interactions change over time. Here, I suggest four specific ways to continue building toward a more temporally explicit understanding of community ecology: (a) by increasing the representation of temporal change in interaction networks, (b) by developing both specific and general insights into event-driven dynamics, (c) by developing and testing sequential hypotheses to describe proposed explanations that unfold over time and (d) by characterizing seasonal windows of opportunity. A great deal about the temporal dynamics of communities remains uncertain, but temporally explicit studies have the potential to improve our fundamental understanding of how communities function.

迈向更明确的社区生态框架

作者(s): Yang, LH | 摘要：© 2020 作者。由 John Wiley a Sons Australia, Ltd 代表日本生态学会发表的生态研究虽然生态学家早就了解社区的基本动态性质，但直到最近生态学似乎还强调生态复杂性的其他方面，例如多样性和空间结构，在时间变化之前。气候变化使对群落生态的时间维度的研究更加直接和紧迫，并暴露了我们对物种相互作用如何随时间变化的一般理解的局限性。在这里，我提出了四种具体的方法来继续建立对社区生态的更明确的理解：（a）通过增加交互网络中时间变化的表示，(b) 通过发展对事件驱动动力学的具体和一般见解，(c) 通过开发和测试连续假设来描述随时间展开的提议解释，以及 (d) 通过表征机会的季节性窗口。关于社区时间动态的很多内容仍然不确定，但时间明确的研究有可能提高我们对社区如何运作的基本理解。
