Balls, cups, and quasi‐potentials: quantifying stability in stochastic systems

BC Nolting, KC Abbott - Ecology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
When a system has more than one stable state, how can the stability of these states be
compared? This deceptively simple question has important consequences for ecosystems, …

[HTML][HTML] Composite random search strategies based on non-directional sensory cues

BC Nolting, TM Hinkelman, CE Brassil… - Ecological …, 2015 - Elsevier
Many foraging animals find food using composite random search strategies, which consist

Alternative (un) stable states in a stochastic predator–prey model

KC Abbott, BC Nolting - Ecological complexity, 2017 - Elsevier
Stochastic models sometimes behave qualitatively differently from their deterministic analogues.
We explore the implications of this in ecosystems that shift suddenly from one state to …

Why are demographic Allee effects so rarely seen in social animals?

BA Lerch, BC Nolting, KC Abbott - journal of animal ecology, 2018 - Wiley Online Library
Allee effects in group‐living species are common, but little is known about the way in which
Allee effects at the group‐level scale up to influence population dynamics. Most notably, it …
