#EmpiricalDynamicModeling

Temperature variation and life history mediate the degree of nonlinearity in fluctuations of global marine fish populations Nonlinear dynamics readily occur in natural ecosystems and can drive irregular population fluctuations through oscillations, chaos and alternative stable states. However, the effects of anthropogenic ...

New preprint! We analyzed ~500 global marine fish time series using #EmpiricalDynamicModeling and show that temperature variation amplifies nonlinearity in juveniles and adults, while life history mediates nonlinearity for the latter, dampening it in slow-lived species #Ecology #Fisheries
