Direct and indirect effects of temperature on bird and fish community stability

In the face of rapid climate change, understanding how various temperature components — including the median, variability, trend and extremes — affect community stability remains a

challenge. Our study reveals distinct differences in how temperature components affect the stability of birds and fishes, and shows that indirect effects play a crucial part.
