Detecting alternative attractors in ecosystem dynamics

Detecting alternative attractors in ecosystem dynamics

Säterberg and McCann introduce a time-series method to test whether systems exhibit alternative dynamical attractors. Through simulated and experimental data from a planktonic predator-prey system, their results show that if population dynamics are induced by internal factors to the system, then alt...
