- Insights Into Spatial Synchrony Enabled by Long-Term Data. Reuman, Daniel C Walter, Jonathan A Sheppard, Lawrence W Karatayev, Vadim A Kadiyala, Ethan S Lohmann, Amanda C Anderson, Thomas L Coombs, Nat J Haynes, Kyle J Hallett, Lauren M Castorani, Max C N Ecosystem Animals Models, Biological Ecology Population Dynamics Time Factors 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.
