Introduction
Research
The ongoing thesis aims to better understand how complexity of ecosystems allows them to cope with disturbances. To do so, we try to link the wide range of complexity metrics (number of species, linkage density, modularity, etc.) together, and with various stability metrics (robustness, resilience, variability, etc.). Some of these metrics are redundant while others are completely independent and linked to specific ecosystem properties. The general idea is that confusion arise from this diversity, and that understanding how these metrics are linked theoretically and in practice is needed to elucidate, and potentially reconcile, the plethora of complexity-stability found in the literature. Our current work is divided into three main work packages: (1) Inventory of the metrics used in the literature; (2) Assessment of the relationships between these metrics based on mathematical development and in-silico experiments; (3) Identification of potential metrics to prioritise.
