Weak trophic interactions and the balance of nature
- K. McCann, A. Hastings, G. Huxel
- Biology
- Nature
- 22 October 1998
Ecological models show that complexity usually destabilizes food webs,, predicting that food webs should not amass the large numbers of interacting species that are in fact found in nature. Here,… Expand
Thresholds and the resilience of Caribbean coral reefs
- P. Mumby, A. Hastings, H. J. Edwards
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 1 November 2007
The deteriorating health of the world’s coral reefs threatens global biodiversity, ecosystem function, and the livelihoods of millions of people living in tropical coastal regions. Reefs in the… Expand
Complex interactions between dispersal and dynamics: Lessons from coupled logistic equations
- A. Hastings
- Biology
- 1 July 1993
A study of one of the simplest systems incorporating both dispersal and local dynamics, coupling two discrete time logistic equations, demonstrates several surprising features. Passive dispersal can… Expand
The spatial spread of invasions: new developments in theory and evidence
- A. Hastings, K. Cuddington, +11 authors D. Thomson
- Biology
- 4 November 2004
We review and synthesize recent developments in the study of the spread of invasive species, emphasizing both empirical and theoretical approaches. Recent theoretical work has shown that invasive… Expand
Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere
- Anthony D. Barnosky, E. Hadly, +19 authors A. Smith
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 7 June 2012
Localized ecological systems are known to shift abruptly and irreversibly from one state to another when they are forced across critical thresholds. Here we review evidence that the global ecosystem… Expand
Ecological and evolutionary insights from species invasions.
- D. Sax, J. Stachowicz, +9 authors W. Rice
- Biology, Medicine
- Trends in ecology & evolution
- 1 September 2007
Species invasions provide numerous unplanned and frequently, but imperfectly, replicated experiments that can be used to better understand the natural world. Classic studies by Darwin, Grinnell,… Expand
Can spatial variation alone lead to selection for dispersal
- A. Hastings
- Biology
- 1 December 1983
Abstract The question of selection on dispersal rates in a spatially varying, temporally constant environment is studied using an evolutionarily stable strategy approach. Dispersal is modelled as… Expand
Re–evaluating the omnivory–stability relationship in food webs
- K. McCann, A. Hastings
- Biology
- Proceedings of the Royal Society of London…
- 22 August 1997
Under equilibrium conditions, previous theory has shown that the presence of omnivory destabilizes food webs. Correspondingly, omnivory ought to be rare in real food webs. Although, early food web… Expand
Population models for marine reserve design: A retrospective and prospective synthesis
- L. Gerber, L. Botsford, +4 authors S. Andelman
- Biology
- 1 February 2003
We synthesize results from existing models of marine reserves to identify key theoretical issues that appear to be well understood, as well as issues in need of further exploration. Models of marine… Expand
