Improved potential analysis for inadequate ecological data

This paper introduces an improved potential analysis method to better handle ecological data limitations and enhance predictions of ecosystem dynamics and resilience.

Stochastic regimes can hide the attractors in data, reconstruction algorithms can reveal them

The paper shows that stochastic regimes can obscure attractors in data, and that reconstruction algorithms can reveal them by analyzing the relationship between noise and system equilibria.

Monitoring Resilience in Bursts

This paper compares methods for detecting resilience changes in systems, showing that burst sampling outperforms continuous monitoring with the same data points, suggesting it can improve early warning signals for critical transitions.

Quantifying the relevance of alternative stable states in many-species food webs

This study quantifies how alternative stable states in many-species food webs depend on feedback mechanisms and species differences in demography and trophic interconnectedness.
