No complexity-stability relationship in natural ecosystems
Abstract
Understanding the mechanisms responsible for the stability and persistence of natural ecosystems is one of the greatest challenges in ecology. Robert May showed that contrary to intuition, complex randomly built communities are less likely to be stable than simpler ones. For four decades, ecologists have tried to isolate the non-random characteristics of natural communities that could explain how they persist despite their complexity. Surprisingly, few attempts have been tried to test May’s fun...
