We used the full model framework (equations 4) to identify the most parsimonious model of the dynamics at each trophic level.
It is worth recalling, however, that theory predicts that population stability depends on the relative strengths of intrinsic and environmental influences on population dynamics [ 2 ] . In this regard, it may be the observation that climate exerted its greatest influence on the dynamics of the top and bottom trophic levels (Figure 3) that is most relevant because, even if self regulation were equivalent at all three levels, it is at the levels most responsive to climate where we will see the greatest effects of climate change on dynamics and stability [ 3 ] .
Despite having low dimension, the top and bottom trophic levels displayed complex dynamics (Table 1).
Direct density dependence was slightly stronger at the middle trophic level (moose) than at the top or bottom levels, though none of the tests for differences between these coefficients was significant (Figure 3).
Whether community stability in a changing climate relates to dynamic complexity at individual trophic levels, as opposed to complexity of entire food webs ( sensu [ 34 ] ), should prove to be a fruitful and important pursuit in future research.
