• Experimentally testing the role of foundation species in forests: the Harvard Forest Hemlock Removal Experiment (2010, background): “At the same time, the frequency of monitoring also must be fast enough to identify the turnover and non-equilibrial dynamics of short-lived taxa and rapid biogeochemical cycles, along with the transient dynamics of long-lived taxa and fast changes in ecosystem processes (e.g. Smith & Shugart 1993; H”
• ASSEMBLY HISTORY INTERACTS WITH ECOSYSTEM SIZE TO INFLUENCE SPECIES DIVERSITY (2004, background): “This study, which lasted for about 50–100 generations, demonstrates that long-term studies are essential for understanding ecological processes (Hastings 2001, 2004), particularly community assembly (Grover and Lawton 1994, Samuels and Drake 1997, Warren et al. 2003).”
• What can we learn from resource pulses? (2008, background): “…stable states (Scheffer 1990, Holmgren et al. 2001, Holmgren and Scheffer 2001, Scheffer et al. 2001, 2003, Scheffer and Carpenter 2003, Folke et al. 2004, Van Nes and Scheffer 2004, Schroder et al. 2005), or contribute to important nonequilibrium transient behaviors (Hastings 2001, 2004).”
• Wavelet analysis of ecological time series (2008, background): “For instance, the dynamics of transients can play a key role in the structure of natural systems (Hastings 2001; Benton et al. 2006).”
• MIGHT NITROGEN LIMITATION PROMOTE OMNIVORY AMONG CARNIVOROUS ARTHROPODS (2003, background): “Although it is useful to understand equilibrium dynamics (e.g., Holt and Polis 1997), transient dynamics are also important (Hastings 2001), and are particularly relevant to predator–predator interactions in arthropod com- S pe c ia l Fe at u r e 2542 JAY A.

• Transient population dynamics:relations to life history and initial population state (2005, background): “Thus, the assumption of asymptotic population dynamics in the wild may be unwarranted in many cases (Hastings and Higgins, 1994; Fox and Gurevitch, 2000; Hastings, 2001, 2004).”
• The stability–complexity relationship at age 40: a random matrix perspective (2015, background): “For example, recently ecologists recognized the important role of the transient dynamics displayed by ecological communities after disturbance (Hastings 2001).”
• Boom or bust? A comparative analysis of transient population dynamics in plants (2010, background): “Transient dynamics have recently emerged as a further explanation for unpredictable population behaviour (Hastings 2001).”
