Universal Early Warning Signals of Phase Transitions in Climate Systems
Daniel Dylewsky, Timothy M. Lenton, Marten Scheffer +4
The potential for complex systems to exhibit tipping points in which an equilibrium state undergoes a sudden and often irreversible shift is well established, but prediction of the…
Early warning signals for desynchronization in periodically forced systems
Pablo Rodríguez-Sánchez, Egbert H. van Nes, Marten Scheffer
Conditions such as insomnia, cardiac arrhythmia and jet-lag share a common feature: they are all related to the ability of biological systems to synchronize with the day-night cycl…
Climbing Escher's stairs: a way to approximate stability landscapes in multidimensional systems
Pablo Rodríguez-Sánchez, Egbert H. van Nes, Marten Scheffer
Stability landscapes are useful for understanding the properties of dynamical systems. These landscapes can be calculated from the system's dynamical equations using the physical c…
Rethinking Resource Allocation in Science
Johan Bollen, Stephen Carpenter, Jane Lubchenco +1
US funding agencies alone distribute a yearly total of roughly $65B dollars largely through the process of proposal peer review: scientists compete for project funding by submittin…
Does putting your emotions into words make you feel better? Measuring the minute-scale dynamics of emotions from online data
Rui Fan, Ali Varamesh, Onur Varol +4
Studies of affect labeling, i.e. putting your feelings into words, indicate that it can attenuate positive and negative emotions. Here we track the evolution of individual emotions…
Neutral competition boosts chaos in food webs
Pablo Rodríguez-Sánchez, Egbert H. van Nes, Marten Scheffer
Similarity of competitors has been proposed to facilitate coexistence of species because it slows down competitive exclusion, thus making it easier for equalizing mechanisms to mai…
