Food system resilience has multiple dimensions. We draw on food system and resilience
concepts and review resilience framings of different communities. We present four questions …

Ecological resilience is the ability of a system to persist in the face of perturbations. Although
resilience has been a highly influential concept, its interpretation has remained largely …

In the vicinity of tipping points—or more precisely bifurcation points—ecosystems recover
slowly from small perturbations. Such slowness may be interpreted as a sign of low …

Humans have moved organisms around the world for centuries but it is only relatively
recently that invasion ecology has grown into a mainstream research field. This book …

Tipping points are crossed when small changes in external conditions cause abrupt
unexpected responses in the current state of a system. In the case of ecological communities …

Ecological regime shifts are rarely purely ecological. Not only is the regime shift frequently
triggered by human activity, but the responses of relevant actors to ecological dynamics are …

The realization that complex systems such as ecological communities can collapse or shift
regimes suddenly and without rapid external forcing poses a serious challenge to our …

The perception that ecosystem-based fishery management is too complex and poorly
defined remains a primary impediment to its broadscale adoption and implementation. Here …

Ecosystems can show sudden and persistent changes in state despite only incremental
changes in drivers. Such critical transitions are difficult to predict, because the state of the …
