Assessing the sensitivity and resistance of communities in a changing environment

BE Sæther, S Engen, EB Solbu - Journal of Animal Ecology, 2024 - Wiley Online Library
We propose that the ecological resilience of communities to permanent changes of the
environment can be based on how variation in the overall abundance of individuals affects …

Local-manifold-distance-based regression: an estimation method for quantifying dynamic biological interactions with empirical time series

K Kawatsu - Royal Society Open Science, 2024 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Quantifying species interactions based on empirical observations is crucial for ecological
studies. Advancements in nonlinear time-series analyses, particularly S-maps, are …

Biodiversity forecasting in natural plankton communities reveals temperature and biotic interactions as key predictors

E Merz, F Pomati, S Saavedra, L Gilarranz - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
As natural ecosystems experience unprecedented human-made degradation, it is urgent to

Resilience metrics are robust across data qualities but sensitive to community size

DA O'Brien, CF Clements - bioRxiv, 2023 - biorxiv.org
Modern biodiversity monitoring is generating increasingly multidimensional representations
of wildlife populations and ecosystems. It is therefore appealing for conservation and …
