Amin will be presenting our paper (A. Ghadami, E. Gourgou, B. Epureanu), entitled “Rate of Recovery from Perturbations Reflects Future Stability of Natural Populations” (selected oral presentation) at the 9th International Conference on Complex Systems (ICCS) 2018, at Cambridge, MA in July.
Paper on bistability of microbial populations accepted!
Our paper “Rate of recovery from perturbations as a means to forecast future stability of living systems” (Amin Ghadami, Eleni Gourgou, Bogdan Epureanu) was accepted for publication in Scientific Reports! For a summary of the project, see here.
Update: the paper is now available online https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-018-27573-0
