[Meta] means beyond, more integrative, or the philosophy concerned with the discipline in question. In ecology, the prefix [Meta] is often used to designate a collection of spatially defined units connected by the movement of individuals (metapopulation), species (metacommunity), or resources (metaecosystem). In The MetaEcology Lab we study cross-ecosystem dynamics to understand how anthropogenic perturbations will influence the dynamic and functioning of biotic community across entire landscapes.
