  • Predicting the stability, equilibrium response, and nonequilibrium dynamics of ecological systems

    Creator:
    Hosack, Geoffrey R.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, new theory and its applications are developed to predict three properties of complex ecological communities: stability, equilibrium response, and non-equilibrium dynamics. First, a graph-theoretic analysis identifies the interconnections in a complex ecosystem that promote or diminish stability (Chapter 2). The hierarchy of interactions that influences stability and...
