A socio-ecological model of the Opuntia scrublands in the Peruvian Andes
(2012)
Opuntia scrublands are important socio-ecological systems (SESs) in the Andean area. Opuntia provides a variety of products employed in the human diet and in animal feed, as well as cochineal insects, a highly valued source ...
The dimensionality of ecological networks
(2013-05-01)
How many dimensions (trait-axes) are required to predict whether two species interact? This unanswered question originated with the idea of ecological niches, and yet bears relevance today for understanding what determines ...

Reconsidering person-centered service models as social ecology networks
(Ubiquity Press, 2019-06)
Efforts to address problems such as mental health, poverty, social exclusion, and chronic disease have often proven resistant to traditional policies or interventions. In this paper, we take up the challenge and present a ...
To tip or not to tip: The Window of Tipping Point Analysis for social-ecological systems
(Wiley, 2022)
We introduce six steps to define a “Window of Tipping Point Analysis” which serves as a framework to increase the understanding of processes and tipping points in social-ecological systems. We apply the Window of Tipping ...
Multiple stressors and social-ecological traps in Pampean streams (Argentina): A conceptual model
