There is growing awareness of pollinator declines worldwide. Conservation efforts have
mainly focused on finding the direct causes, while paying less attention to building a …

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 …

A central assumption in most ecological models is that the interactions in a community
operate only between pairs of species. However, two species may interactively affect the …

Nitrogen (N) enrichment poses threats to biodiversity and ecosystem stability, while
arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi play important roles in ecosystem stability and …

Numerous natural and human-made systems exhibit critical transitions whereby slow
changes in environmental conditions spark abrupt shifts to a qualitatively distinct state …

Genes encode information that determines an organism's fitness. Yet we know little about
whether genes of one species influence the persistence of interacting species in an …

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 …

The resilience of forests is compromised by human‐induced environmental influences
pushing them towards tip** points and resulting in major shifts in ecosystem state that …

Models and theories in behaviour change science are not in short supply, but they almost
exclusively pertain to a particular facet of behaviour, such as automaticity or reasoned …

Mutualistic systems can experience abrupt and irreversible regime shifts caused by local or
global stressors. Despite decades of efforts to understand ecosystem dynamics and …
