    Studies of evolutionary responses to novel environments typically consider single species or perhaps pairs of interacting species. However, all organisms co-occur with many other species, resulting in evolutionary dynamics that might not match those predicted using single species approaches. Recent theories predict that species interactions in diverse systems can influence how component species evolve in response to environmental change. In turn, evolution might have consequences for ecosystem functioning. We used experimental communities of five bacterial species to show that species interactions have a major impact on adaptation to a novel environment in the laboratory. Species in communities diverged in their use of resources compared with the same species in monocultures and evolved to use waste products generated by other species. This generally led to a trade-off between adaptation to the abiotic and biotic components of the environment, such that species evolving in communities had lower growth rates when assayed in the absence of other species. Based on growth assays and on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy of resource use, all species evolved more in communities than they did in monocultures. The evolutionary changes had significant repercussions for the functioning of these experimental ecosystems: communities reassembled from isolates that had evolved in polyculture were more productive than those reassembled from isolates that had evolved in monoculture. Our results show that the way in which species adapt to new environments depends critically on the biotic environment of co-occurring species. Moreover, predicting how functioning of complex ecosystems will respond to an environmental change requires knowing how species interactions will evolve.

    <jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:p> <jats:bold>1.</jats:bold> Bioassessment in running waters has focused primarily on the impacts of organic pollution on community structure. Other stressors (e.g. invasive species) and impacts on ecosystem processes have been largely ignored in many riverine biomonitoring schemes, despite being required increasingly by environmental legislation.</jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>2.</jats:bold> Exotic riparian plants can exert potentially powerful stresses by altering both autochthonous and allochthonous trophic pathways. We examined the impact of <jats:italic>Rhododendron ponticum</jats:italic> on community structure and three key ecosystem processes (decomposition, primary production, and herbivory) in nine streams bordered by three characteristic vegetation types (deciduous woodland, pasture, or <jats:italic>Rhododendron</jats:italic>).</jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>3.</jats:bold> Community structure and ecosystem process rates differed among vegetation types, with autochthonous pathways being relatively more important in the pasture streams than in the woodland reference streams. Overall ecosystem functioning, however, was compromised in the invaded streams because both allochthonous and autochthonous inputs were impaired. <jats:italic>Rhododendron</jats:italic>’s poor quality litter and densely shaded canopy suppressed decomposition rates and algal production, and the availability of resources to consumer assemblages.</jats:p><jats:p> <jats:bold>4.</jats:bold> <jats:italic>Synthesis and applications</jats:italic>. Combining measures of invertebrate abundance, rates of litter decomposition and algal production in future bioassessments of stream ecosystem functioning can help to make better informed management decisions and to develop more focused priorities f

    <jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Methane (CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub>) and carbon dioxide (CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>) are the dominant gaseous end products of the remineralization of organic carbon and also the two largest contributors to the anthropogenic greenhouse effect. We investigated whether warming altered the balance of CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> efflux relative to gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in a freshwater mesocosm experiment. Whole ecosystem CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> efflux was strongly related to temperature with an apparent activation energy of 0.85 eV. Furthermore, CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> efflux increased faster than ER or GPP with temperature, with all three processes having sequentially lower activation energies. Warming of 4 °C increased the fraction of GPP effluxing as CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> by 20% and the fraction of ER as CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> by 9%, in line with the offset in their respective activation energies. Because CH<jats:sub>4</jats:sub> is 21 times more potent as a greenhouse gas, relative to CO<jats:sub>2</jats:sub>, these results suggest freshwater ecosystems could drive a previously unknown positive feedback between warming and the carbon cycle.</jats:p>
