	abstract = {Plankton\&nbsp;are excellent indicators of ecosystem status and fisheries because of their pivotal role in marine food webs and their core values in the integrated\&nbsp;ecosystem assessment\&nbsp;(IEA). Monitoring plankton is essential to understand their dynamics and underlying processes. Recent advances in imaging technologies have enabled in situ, high-frequency, real-time observations of plankton in coastal waters. While high-frequency plankton time series have provided unprecedented fundamental information about physical and biological processes, understanding and identifying the underlying mechanisms that influence plankton dynamic remains a major challenge. We use high-frequency plankton data from PlanktonScope as an example to examine the impacts of physical and biological processes on plankton dynamics at different temporal scales. Frequency patterns were identified for both environmental factors and different plankton groups that matched in time. Using logistic regression models on the selected daily peaks for different plankton groups, we found that diurnal cycle,\&nbsp;monsoon\&nbsp;season, and major\&nbsp;episodic events, such as\&nbsp;typhoons, had major impacts on the dynamics of plankton, as proxied by our indicators. We further synthesized, across multiple spatiotemporal scales in the study area, the impacts of various processes on plankton with different mobility. Our study demonstrates that the suite of plankton indicators simultaneously generated from PlanktonScope provides a robust holistic view of\&nbsp;pelagic ecosystem\&nbsp;status over a broad range of spatiotemporal scales. In situ imaging systems like PlanktonScope are promising tools for near real-time plankton monitoring and a deep understanding of plankton dynamics.},

	abstract = {<p>Impermanence is an ecological principle<sup>1</sup> but there are times when changes occur nonlinearly as abrupt community shifts (ACSs) that transform the ecosystem state and the goods and services it provides<sup>2</sup>. Here, we present a model based on niche theory<sup>3</sup> to explain and predict ACSs at the global scale. We test our model using 14 multi-decadal time series of marine metazoans from zooplankton to fish, spanning all latitudes and the shelf to the open ocean. Predicted and observed fluctuations correspond, with both identifying ACSs at the end of the 1980s<sup>4,5,6,7</sup> and 1990s<sup>5,8</sup>. We show that these ACSs coincide with changes in climate that alter local thermal regimes, which in turn interact with the thermal niche of species to trigger long-term and sometimes abrupt shifts at the community level. A large-scale ACS is predicted after 2014{\textemdash}unprecedented in magnitude and extent{\textemdash}coinciding with a strong El Ni{\~n}o event and major shifts in Northern Hemisphere climate. Our results underline the sensitivity of the Arctic Ocean, where unprecedented melting may reorganize biological communities<sup>5,9</sup>, and suggest an increase in the size and consequences of ACS events in a warming world.</p>
