Ecological resilience is the ability of a system to persist in the face of perturbations. Although
resilience has been a highly influential concept, its interpretation has remained largely …

Increasing attention to regime shifts, critical transitions, non-marginal changes, and systemic
shocks calls for the development of models that are able to reproduce or grow structural …

The classic brain criticality hypothesis postulates that the brain benefits from operating near
a continuous second-order phase transition. Slow feedback regulation of neuronal activity …

The realization that complex systems such as ecological communities can collapse or shift
regimes suddenly and without rapid external forcing poses a serious challenge to our …

In the face of global biodiversity declines, predicting the fate of biological systems is a key
goal in ecology. One popular approach is the search for early warning signals (EWS s) …

Research aimed at identifying indicators of persistent abrupt shifts in ecological
communities, aka regime shifts, has led to the development of a suite of early warning …

Based on suggested interactions of potential tip** elements in the Earth's climate and in
ecological systems, tip** cascades as possible dynamics are increasingly discussed and …

Early warning signals are considered to be generic indicators of a system's accumulating
instability and 'critical slowing down'prior to substantial and abrupt transitions between …

Early warning signals (EWSs) offer the hope that patterns observed in data can predict the
future states of ecological systems. While a large body of research identifies such signals …

Many real-world systems can exhibit tip** points and multiple stable states, creating the
potential for sudden and difficult to reverse transitions into a less desirable regime. The …
