All Change Research on early warning signals for critical transitions in complex systems such as ecosystems, climate, and global finance systems recently has been gathering pace. At the same time, studies on complex networks are starting to reveal which architecture may cause systems to be vulnerable to systemic collapse. Scheffer et al. (p. 344) review how previously isolated lines of work can be connected, conclude that many critical transitions (such as escape from the poverty trap) can have… Expand

Managing for resilience: early detection of regime shifts in complex systems
TLDR
Fisher information is compared to traditional indicators through the assessment of model and real systems and identified as a leading indicator of impending regime shifts and offers great promise for resilience science and sustainability. Expand
Relation between stability and resilience determines the performance of early warning signals under different environmental drivers
TLDR
This study characterized how multiple environmental drivers influence the dynamics of laboratory yeast populations, which was previously shown to display alternative stable states, and found that the performance of early warning signals under different environmental drivers is determined by the underlying relation between stability and resilience. Expand
Exit time as a measure of ecological resilience
TLDR
The mathematical concept of mean exit time, the time it takes for a system to cross a threshold, can help to solve this problem and characterize the resilience of complex systems and is proposed as a measure of resilience, which can be formalized as the meanexit time from an attraction basin. Expand
Critical slowing down as early warning for the onset of collapse in mutualistic communities
TLDR
This work finds that critical slowing-down indicators derived from time series of biomasses measured at the species and community level signal the proximity to the onset of community collapse, and identifies specialist species as likely the best-indicator species for monitoring the proximity of a community to collapse. Expand
Foreseeing the future of mutualistic communities beyond collapse
TLDR
A model of a bipartite mutualistic network is used and it is shown that a network's post‐transition state is indicated by the way in which a system recovers from minor disturbances, suggesting that the results are of relevance to a wide range of mutualistic systems. Expand
Early warning signals: the charted and uncharted territories
TLDR
A core of examples emerges that shares three properties: the phenomenon of rapid regime shifts, a pattern of “critical slowing down” that can be used to detect the approaching shift, and a mechanism of bifurcation driving the sudden change. Expand
Tipping positive change
  • T. Lenton
  • Medicine, Economics
  • Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B
  • 2020
TLDR
The same methods that can provide early warning of damaging environmental tipping points can be used to detect when a socio-technical or socio-ecological system is most sensitive to being deliberately tipped in a desirable direction. Expand
Early Warning Signals of Social Transformation: A Case Study from the US Southwest
TLDR
It is concluded that variance is of broad relevance in anticipating social change, and the capacity of social institutions to mitigate transformation is critical to consider in EWS research on socio-ecological systems. Expand
Indicators of transitions in biological systems.
TLDR
The theory behind nonlinearity in dynamic systems and techniques to detect the loss of resilience that can indicate state transitions are covered, and the research done on generic abundance-based signals of instability that are derived from the phenomenon of critical slowing down are described. Expand
Review on detection of critical transition in ecosystems
TLDR
The mechanism and consequence of critical transitions are discussed, the basic theory behind the early-warning signals are introduced, and the methods used to extract early- Warning signals both from temporal and spatial dimensions are summed up. Expand

Methods for Detecting Early Warnings of Critical Transitions in Time Series Illustrated Using Simulated Ecological Data
TLDR
A range of currently available early warning methods are summarized and applied to two simulated time series that are typical of systems undergoing a critical transition, offering a practical toolbox that may be used in a wide range of fields to help detect early warning signals of critical transitions in time series data. Expand
Generic Indicators for Loss of Resilience Before a Tipping Point Leading to Population Collapse
TLDR
The results suggest that indicators of critical slowing down can provide advance warning of catastrophic thresholds and loss of resilience in a variety of dynamical systems. Expand
Rising variance: a leading indicator of ecological transition.
TLDR
Simulations show that rising standard deviation could signal impending regime shift about a decade in advance, and increasing variability of lake-water phosphorus was discernible prior to the shift to eutrophic conditions. Expand
Spatial correlation as leading indicator of catastrophic shifts
Generic early-warning signals such as increased autocorrelation and variance have been demonstrated in time-series of systems with alternative stable states approaching a critical transition.… Expand
Turning back from the brink: Detecting an impending regime shift in time to avert it
TLDR
To improve usefulness in averting ecological regime shifts, research is suggested to focus on defining critical indicator levels rather than detecting change in the indicators, and a new spectral density ratio indicator is presented. Expand
Early warning of climate tipping points from critical slowing down: comparing methods to improve robustness
TLDR
Robust indicators of critical slowing down are found prior to the abrupt warming event at the end of the Younger Dryas, but the indicators are less clear prior toThe Bølling-Allerød warming, or glacial termination in Antarctica. Expand
Nested and teleconnected vulnerabilities to environmental change
TLDR
It is argued that the vulnerability of distant peoples and places to global change in environment and society is nested and teleconnected, and that the drivers of their exposure and sensitivity are inseparable from large‐scale processes of sociocultural change and market integration. Expand
Slow Recovery from Perturbations as a Generic Indicator of a Nearby Catastrophic Shift
TLDR
The robust occurrence of critical slowing down is demonstrated in six ecological models and the robustness of the phenomenon makes it a promising indicator of loss of resilience and the risk of upcoming regime shifts in a system. Expand
Early-warning signals for critical transitions
TLDR
Work in different scientific fields is now suggesting the existence of generic early-warning signals that may indicate for a wide class of systems if a critical threshold is approaching. Expand
Analysis of abrupt transitions in ecological systems
The occurrence and causes of abrupt transitions, thresholds, or regime shifts between ecosystem states are of great concern and the likelihood of such transitions is increasing for many ecological… Expand
