A new model-free method has been developed and termed the landscape dynamic network biomarker(l-DNB) methodology. The method is based on bifurcation theory, which can identify tipping points prior to serious disease d...
Introduction:Biodiversity and biodiversity-based ecosystems services are intrinsically dependent on the climate.During the twentieth century,climate change has posed major threats to biodiversity in Africa,and impacts...
Primary funding was provided by the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation,with additional support to K.A.Selkoe from National Science Founda-tion(BioOCE Award 1260169).
As climatic changes and human uses intensify,resource managers and other decision makers are taking actions to either avoid or respond to ecosystem tipping points,or dramatic shifts in structure and function that are ...
There is a long and rich tradition in the social sciences of using models of collective behavior in animals as jump- ing-off points for the study of human behavior, including collective human behavior. Here, we come a...
