Abstract

Spatial synchrony, the tendency for temporal fluctuations in an ecological variable to be positively associated in different locations, is a widespread and important phenomenon in ecology. Understanding of the nature and mechanisms of synchrony, and how synchrony is changing, has developed rapidly over the past 2 decades. Many recent developments have taken place through the study of long-term data sets. Here, we review and synthesise some important recent advances in spatial synchrony, with a focus on how long-term data have facilitated new understanding. Longer time series do not just facilitate better testing of existing ideas or more precise statistical results; more importantly, they also frequently make possible the expansion of conceptual paradigms. We discuss several such advances in our understanding of synchrony, how long-term data led to these advances, and how future studies can continue to improve the state of knowledge.

对长期数据支持的空间同步的洞察
空间同步性,即一个生态变量在不同地点的时间波动呈正相关的趋势,是生态学中广泛而重要的现象。对同步性的本质和机制以及同步性如何变化的理解在过去二十年中得到了迅速发展。最近的许多发展都是通过对长期数据集的研究取得的。在这里,我们回顾和综合了空间同步的一些重要的最新进展,重点是长期数据如何促进新的理解。更长的时间序列不仅有助于更好地测试现有的想法或更精确的统计结果;更重要的是,它们也经常使概念范式的扩展成为可能。我们讨论了我们对同步的理解中的几个这样的进展,长期数据如何导致这些进展,以及未来的研究如何继续改善知识状态。

期刊介绍: Ecology Letters serves as a platform for the rapid publication of innovative research in ecology. It considers manuscripts across all taxa, biomes, and geographic regions, prioritizing papers that investigate clearly stated hypotheses. The journal publishes concise papers of high originality and general interest, contributing to new developments in ecology. Purely descriptive papers and those that only confirm or extend previous results are discouraged.
