Abstract

This month’s cover image shows an aerial view of the Aquatic Metatron: a unique experimental platform allowing the study of the effects of climate change, habitat fragmentation, and biodiversity loss on aquatic ecosystems. The Aquatic Metatron is composed of 144 independent mesocosms, each of which can be used to create realistic freshwater ecosystems. Each mesocosm can be connected to others through aquatic and/or aerial corridors, allowing work at the meta-ecosystem scale. They can also be manipulated for their climate by either warming or cooling each mesocosm according to precise climate change scenarios. This experimental platform is fully described by Richard et al. in this issue, and they provide three concrete examples of how the platform can be used to study the combined effects of fragmentation, climate change, biodiversity loss, and eutrophication on the long-term ecological and evolutionary dynamics of aquatic ecosystems. This platform is open to external researchers, and Richard et al. provide useful information for future users.

期刊介绍： A British Ecological Society journal, Methods in Ecology and Evolution (MEE) promotes the development of new methods in ecology and evolution, and facilitates their dissemination and uptake by the research community. MEE brings together papers from previously disparate sub-disciplines to provide a single forum for tracking methodological developments in all areas. MEE publishes methodological papers in any area of ecology and evolution, including: -Phylogenetic analysis -Statistical methods -Conservation & management -Theoretical methods -Practical methods, including lab and field -This list is not exhaustive, and we welcome enquiries about possible submissions. Methods are defined in the widest terms and may be analytical, practical or conceptual. A primary aim of the journal is to maximise the uptake of techniques by the community. We recognise that a major stumbling block in the uptake and application of new methods is the accessibility of methods. For example, users may need computer code, example applications or demonstrations of methods.
