Planing new sections and modifications

Hello,

I am trying to improve this article by adding relevant sections to it. I will describe the stability analysis developed by Robert May in the 70's which include the usage of a jacobian matrix to evaluate the stability of a system of differential equations describing an ecosystem. I will add a paragraph talking about the relation between diversity and stability; I will use the article by Anthony Ives & Stephen Carpenter which is a review of the subject. I also want to describe structural stability and denote the differences between structural and dynamic stability. Another thing I think is important is to add examples of ecological systems which are stable. Finally, I am planning to add a paragraph talking about the importance that noise has on biological systems.

I will add this sections over the course of the next weeks. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Thanks to you all! Tonyfol (talk) 17:50, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Major modifications - May 16

As I wrote three weeks ago, I have planned some major modifications to this article and today I am uploading them to the page. I rewrote the main definition of the term and made references towards to discussion that exists in the literature. I created a 'History' section and I also extended the section of 'Types of Stability'. I conserve all the references that existed before, although I have doubts about their relevance in this wiki. I also kept all the links to other wikis and I added a few more.

I believe the definition is now more broad and it can be more useful for anybody looking at this term. Nevertheless, and just as I wrote in the article, there is ambiguity in how to use this term and which are the important aspects of it. This is why I think it is important to improve the 'Types of stability' section and try to cover more of the meanings this term has.

Any improvement is appreciated and I would be happy to discuss further changes. Tonyfol (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2017 (UTC)
