• Resilience in ecology: Abstraction, distraction, or where the action is? (2014, background): “…a river from its watershed or the removal of riparian vegetation can reduce the availability of refugia, and consequently a first-step for management is to focus on the protection or creation of refugia, for example by re-instigating low rates of water flow (Sedell et al., 1990; Lake, 2003).”
• General Resilience to Cope with Extreme Events (2012, background): “Tradeoffs between modularity and openness with respect to system fragility are understood for some ecosystems [27,29], and ecological principles have been applied to banking networks [30].”
• Behavioral & Experimental Macroeconomics and Policy Analysis: A Complex Systems Approach (2018, methodology): “In the presence of very strong nonlinearities catastrophic changes from a ”good” steady state to a ”bad” or ”crisis” steady state of the system may occur after small changes of parameters (e.g. Scheffer (2009), Scheffer et al. (2012).”
• Tipping elements and climate–economic shocks: Pathways toward integrated assessment (2016, background): “Scheffer, E. H. van Nes, V. Brovkin, V. Petoukhov, and H. Held (2008), Slowing down as an early warning signal for abrupt climate change, PNAS, 105(38), 14308–14312, doi:10.”
• Synchronous failure: the emerging causal architecture of global crisis (2015, background): “For instance, greater connectivity can aid repair of local failures by facilitating the flow of inputs from nearby components (Biggs et al. 2012, Scheffer et al. 2012).”
