Transient dynamics and persistence of ecological systems
Abstract
Using spatially coupled predator–prey systems as an example of a cyclic ecological system where coexistence depends on oscillations, transient dynamics of models where there are no stable persistent solutions are shown to be a reasonable explanation of persistence over ecological time scales. The parameter values leading to transients within the context of a particular model may be far from parameter values that lead to stable solutions, so transients will need to be explicitly considered in model analysis. Since natural systems with many coupled oscillating species are common, and natural communities are often reset by disturbances or seasonality, transients should play a central role in understanding natural systems.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
