A critique for eco‐evolutionary dynamics (2019, background): “Unlike laboratory experiments, mesocosms and common gar‐ dens can include many uncontrolled factors that also vary in nature (Stewart et al., 2013), thus increasing the relevance of inferences derived therefrom.”
How good are we at assessing the impact of ocean acidification in coastal systems? Limitations, omissions and strengths of commonly used experimental approaches with special emphasis on the neglected role of fluctuations (2016, background): “Recognising that since 2013 there has been a shift towards more complex andmore realistic experiments, we will end with a plea to pursue and intensify this movement towards experimental designs that produce more relevant insights (e.g. Byrne and Przeslawski 2013; Stewart et al. 2013).”
Modelling climate change impacts on marine fish populations: process-based integration of ocean warming, acidification and other environmental drivers (2016, background): “Investigations for early life stages can be 769 complemented by large-scale manipulations conducted e.g. in mesocosms (cf. Munday et 770 al., 2013b, Stewart et al., 2013).”
Ocean acidification and marine microorganisms : responses and consequences (2015, background): “Mesocosms can vary from the large bodies of sea-water to a few hundred litres to dozens of cubic metres including all its organisms (Stewart et al., 2013).”
Connecting the green and brown worlds . allometric and stoichiometric predictability of above- and below-ground networks (2013, background): “However, in the case of many soil heterotrophs, such a link is according to Mulder and Elser (2009) not implausible and deserves further investigation under controlled environmental conditions, such as in the Ecotrons (Naeem et al., 1995; Stewart et al., 2013, and references therein).”
