The usual theoretical condition for coexistence is that each species in a community can
increase when it is rare (mutual invasibility). Traditional coexistence theory implicitly …

Meeting restoration targets may require active strategies to accelerate natural regeneration
rates or overcome the resilience associated with degraded ecosystem states. Introducing …

The theory of alternate stable states provides an explanation for rapid ecosystem
degradation, yielding important implications for ecosystem conservation and restoration …

Choosing restoration strategies may depend on ecosystem's stability properties. When
degraded ecosystems do not self‐perpetuate, natural regeneration can lead to system …

Many systems may switch to an undesired state due to internal failures or external
perturbations, of which critical transitions toward degraded ecosystem states are prominent …

Both community ecology and conservation biology seek further understanding of factors
governing the advance of an invasive species. We model biological invasion as an …

Certain invasive plants may rely on interference mechanisms (eg, allelopathy) to gain
competitive superiority over native species. But expending resources on interference …

Spatial localization of an obligate-killing, free-living pathogen generates a landscape of
patches where new infections occur. As an infectious patch ages, both pathogen exposure …

Given an endogenous timescale set by invasion in a constant environment, we introduced
periodic temporal variation in competitive superiority by alternating the species' propagation …

This paper proposes an improved K-means algorithm for the clustering analysis of
dangerous goods transportation from logistics platform. The improved algorithm uses the …
