Spatially varying plankton synchrony patterns at seasonal and interannual scales in a well‐connected shelf sea
Abstract Spatial population synchrony, defined as spatial covariation in population density fluctuations, exists across different temporal and spatial scales. Determining the degree of spatial synchrony is useful for inferring environmental drivers of population variability in the wake of climate ch...

Abstract Spatial population synchrony, defined as spatial covariation in population density fluctuations, exists across different temporal and spatial scales.

Our results reveal that C. finmarchicus subpopulations connected by advection are not necessarily in synchrony, indicating that the degree of synchrony is likely influenced by heterogeneity of local habitats. In addition, regionally synchronous environmental conditions (e.g., sea surface temperature) may not play as significant a role in influencing subregional population dynamics as was previously hypothesized.
