Resilience has emerged as a key concept in ecology and conservation biology to
understand and predict ecosystem responses to global change. In its broadest sense …

Biodiversity–stability relationships have frequently been studied in ecology, with the recent
integration of traits to explain community stability over time. Classical theory underlying the …

Managing ecological communities requires fast detection of species that are sensitive to
perturbations. Yet, the focus on recovery to equilibrium has prevented us from assessing …

Amidst the global extinction crisis, climate change will expose ecosystems to more frequent
and intense extreme climatic events, such as heatwaves. Yet, whether predator species loss …

Climate change is increasing the frequency, intensity, and duration of extreme weather
events across the globe. Understanding the capacity for ecological communities to withstand …

In modern coexistence theory, species coexistence can either arise via strong niche
differences or weak fitness differences. Having a common currency for interpreting these …

The study of ecological stability continues to fill the pages of scientific journals almost seven
decades after the first ecologists initiated this line of research. The many advances in this …

Ecological stability encompasses multiple dimensions of functional and compositional
responses to environmental change. Though no single stability dimension used in isolation …

Ecological stability in plant communities is shaped by bottom-up processes like
environmental resource fluctuations and top-down controls such as herbivory, each of which …

Concerns about widespread human-induced declines in insect populations are mounting,
yet little is known about how land-use change modifies both the trends and variability of …
