Resilience of aquatic systems: review and management implications
Our understanding of how ecosystems function has changed from an equilibria-based view
to one that recognizes the dynamic, fluctuating, nonlinear nature of aquatic systems. This …

Response trait diversity and species asynchrony underlie the diversity–stability relationship in Romanian bird communities
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 …
