L., Walls, S. C., Barichivich, W. J., Brown, M. E., & Miller, D. A. (2022). Disentangling direct and indirect effects of extreme events on coastal wetland communities. Journal of Animal Ecology<\/jats:italic>, https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/1365\u20102656.13874<\/jats:ext-link>. Catastrophic events such as floods, hurricanes, winter storms, droughts and wildfires increasingly touch our lives either directly or indirectly. These events draw our attention to the seriousness of changes in climate not only to human well\u2010being but also to the integrity of ecological systems upon which we depend. Understanding the impacts of extreme events on ecological systems requires the ability to characterize the cascading effects of environmental changes on the environments in which organisms live and the altered biological interactions produced. This scientific ambition represents no small challenge for the study of animal communities, which are typically difficult to census as well as dynamic in time and space. Davis et al. (2022) in a recent study in the Journal of Animal Ecology examined the amphibian and fish communities found in depressional coastal wetlands to better understand how they respond to major rainfall and flooding events. Data from the U.S. Geological Survey's Amphibian Research and Monitoring Initiative provided an 8\u2010year record of observations as well as environmental measurements. For this study, the authors integrated techniques for assessing the dynamics of animal populations with a Bayesian implementation of structural equation modelling. Using their integrated methodological approach permitted the authors to reveal the direct and indirect effects of extreme weather events on co\u2010occurring amphibian and fish communities while accounting for observational uncertainty and temporal variation in population\u2010level processes. Their findings indicate that the most prominent effects of flooding on the amphibian community were caused by changes in the fish community that led to increased predation and resource competition. In their conclusions, the authors emphasize the importance of understanding networks of abiotic and biotic effects if we are to predict and mitigate the influence of extreme weather events.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2656.13926","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,8]],"date-time":"2023-06-08T03:30:52Z","timestamp":1686195052000},"page":"1106-1109","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Integrated analysis shows how the effects of extreme flooding events propagate through fish communities to impact amphibians"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"92","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6374-4726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"James B.","family":"Grace","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"U.S. Geological Survey Lafayette Louisiana USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_5_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1890\/11-0258.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/2041-210X.13897"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/1365-2656.13578"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1017\/CBO9780511617799"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1890\/ES12-00048.1"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_7_1","volume-title":"The amphibian research and monitoring initiative (ARMI): 5\u2010year report (no. 2006\u20135224)","author":"Muths E.","year":"2006"},{"issue":"1","key":"e_1_2_5_8_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Fueling conditions at staging sites can mitigate Arctic warming effects in a migratory bird","volume":"9","author":"Rakhimberdiev E.","year":"2018","journal-title":"Nature Communications"},{"key":"e_1_2_5_9_1","volume-title":"Hierarchical modeling and inference in ecology: The analysis of data from populations, metapopulations and communities","author":"Royle J.
