Explore fundamental concepts of ecological systems dynamics in this lecture from the ICTP-ICTS Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology. Delve into the mathematical and theoretical frameworks underlying stochasticity and bistability in ecosystems, examining how random fluctuations and multiple stable states influence ecological processes. Learn about the complex interactions between organisms and their environment, focusing on how these systems can exhibit both stability and sudden changes. Understand key principles of theoretical ecology, complex systems analysis, and statistical physics as applied to biodiversity and ecosystem stability. Gain insights into modeling approaches that help predict critical tipping points and ecosystem responses to perturbations, taught by expert researcher Vishwesha Guttal. Part of a comprehensive winter school program designed for scientists and students worldwide, with special emphasis on participants from developing countries.
