Global ecosystems are rapidly approaching tipping points, where minute shifts can lead to
drastic ecological changes. Theory predicts that evolution can shape a system's tipping point …

Global change has been predominantly studied from the prism of 'how much'rather than
'how fast'change occurs. Associated to this, there has been a focus on environmental drivers …

Mutualistic ecological networks can suddenly transition to undesirable states due to small
changes in environmental conditions. Recovering from such a collapse can be difficult as …

Ecosystems under stress may respond abruptly and irreversibly through tipping points.
Although mechanisms leading to alternative stable states are much studied, little is known …

Given the multitude of challenges Earth is facing, sustainability science is of key importance
to our continued existence. Evolution is the fundamental biological process underlying the …

Ecological networks comprising of mutualistic interactions can suddenly transition to
undesirable states, such as collapse, due to small changes in environmental conditions …

By virtue of their niche construction traits, plants play a significant role in shaping
landscapes. The resultant outcome could change the selective environment, which then …

Biodiversity may increase ecosystem resilience. However, we have limited understanding if
this holds true for ecosystems that respond to gradual environmental change with abrupt …

In recent decades, anthropogenic and natural disturbances have increased in rate and
intensity around the world, leaving few ecosystems unaffected. As a result of the interactions …
