6 Before 1970s, the view is that complexity begets stability
7 Before 1970s, the view is that complexity begets stability Elton 1958 Several arguments: - Theoretical and experimental evidence that simple model ecosystems are inherently unstable - species-poor islands and artificial agricultural ecosystems are more prone to invasions by new species and pests than are their continental and natural counterparts.
8 Before 1970s, the view is that complexity begets stability Elton 1958 Several arguments: MacArthur Theoretical and experimental evidence that simple model ecosystems are inherently unstable - species-poor islands and artificial agricultural ecosystems are more prone to invasions by new species and pests than are their continental and natural counterparts.
9 This traditional view is challenged in the early 1970s A mathematical formulation May 1972 Consider a community of k species with population density N i Population dynamics can be described by: dn dt i F i N,..., 1 N k
10 n 2 1 This traditional view is challenged in the early 1970s Near equilibrium, the behaviour of the community is related to the eigenvalues of the Jacobian of the system at this point n a ij F N i j eq A = community matrix a ij = interaction strength
11 n 2 1 This traditional view is challenged in the early 1970s Near equilibrium, the behaviour of the community is related to the eigenvalues of the Jacobian of the system at this point n a ij F N i j eq A = community matrix a ij = interaction strength For a random network with a proportion C of nonzero interaction strengths (connectance), and s the mean interaction strength, the condition for local stability is: s kc 1
12 These contrasting views are at the origin of the complexity stability debate
13 These contrasting views are at the origin of the complexity stability debate Tackling this debate is fundamental to understand how the structure of ecological networks affect ecosystem resilience
14 Going beyond May s work: ecological networks are not random and new model assumptions These contrasting views are at the origin of the complexity stability debate Today we will focus on two questions from recent works in this field: New perspectives on this debate with different definitions of stability

16 Stability: a multifaceted concept Dynamic stability Local stability: definition often used in theoretical studies See May Cycles and Chaos: Associated measures of stability: Variability, amplitude of fluctuations, etc.

30 Jiang et al Diversity promotes ecosystem stability Haddad et al. 2010
31 These contrasting views are at the origin of the complexity stability debate Today we will focus on two questions from recent works in this field: Going beyond May s work: ecological networks are not random and new model assumptions - effects of interaction type and network structure - importance of foraging adaptation
32 A diversity of interaction networks Host-parasitoid network Food web Plant-pollinator network
33 A focus on food webs 1% mutualistic webs 4% parasitic webs 94% food webs Food web Proportions of papers on ecological networks published in the last 50 years that were related to food webs, mutualistic webs and parasitic webs
34 A focus on food webs Schmid-Araya et al. 2002
35 A focus on food webs Trophic groups Modules Gauzens et al. 2015
36 Food web structure and stability Gross et al. (2009) Stouffer et al. (2011)
37 A growing number of studies on mutualistic webs Seed dispersal pollination Nested structure Continuum between specialist and generalist species Presence of a core of highly connected species Asymmetrical specialization Bascompte et al. 2003
38 A growing number of studies on mutualistic webs
39 Nestedness of mutualistic webs and stability Okuyama & Holland (2008) Rohr et al. (2014)

49 Summary: comparing networks with mutualistic and antagonistic interactions The relation between structure and stability strongly differ between mutualistic and antagonistic webs Observed differences between herbivory and pollination networks suggest that network structure might differ between mutualistic and antagonistic interactions Importance of the particular architecture of interaction networks in determining their stability
50 Importance of foraging adaptation Consumers can t consume different resource species simultaneously because of the prey s patchy distribution, the capturing strategy for different preys, consumer s sensory and cognitive constraints for discriminating between preys. Bernays and Funk 1999
51 Importance of foraging adaptation Kondoh 2003
52 Importance of foraging adaptation Kondoh 2003
53 Take home message Resilience, stability and the structure of ecological networks The relationship between network structure and stability depends on the definition of stability and on the mechanisms that determine species interactions Need to be very careful about stability measures and model assumptions when you consider a study
54 Take home message Resilience, stability and the structure of ecological networks Is resilience the most appropriate measure to assess the stability of ecological networks and their response to perturbations?
