New in @pnas.org: Ecological stability through nonlinear fluctuations and the portfolio effect
We show that nonlinear dynamics like oscillations and chaos are paradoxically key to stabilizing globally important salmon complexes in the Fraser River and Bristol Bay.

Much ecological theory has pursued understanding the mechanisms that stabilize communities,
yet empirical analyses reveal deterministic nonlinear d...
