“…Non‐monotonic relationships are increasingly important in ecology (Zhang, Yan, Krebs, & Stenseth, ). A non‐monotonic effect of an environmental variable on a population variable may modify the extents to which Moran effects can occur and the geographies of synchrony of the environmental and population variables match.…”

“…Non-monotonic relationships are increasingly important in ecology (Zhang, Yan, Krebs, & Stenseth, 2015). Although temperature and precipitation are key drivers of primary productivity, which of these is more important can differ among biomes (Nemani et al, 2015).…”

“…Variability in species interactions (i.e. non-monotonicity, Zhang et al 2015) may thus be an important yet previously overlooked mechanism that can promote ecosystem stability in response to climate variability. Models predicting the effects of future precipitation regimes on ecosystems thus need to account for the role of biotic interactions in ecosystem responses (Lavergne et al 2010).…”

“…Although many studies have incorporated various density-dependent functional responses to adjust interaction strength in ecological networks (Nunney 1980, Abrams and Allison 1982, Kondoh 2003, Kawatsu and Kondoh 2018, the type of interaction was usually fixed or only shifted between non-neutral and neutral effects. The assumption of fixed interaction types may have overlooked the context-dependent mechanisms underlying interaction transitions (Thompson 1988) and hindered us from a full understanding of ecosystem stability (Zhang et al 2015). Recent studies have used theoretical or empirical ecological networks to show that variety or a combination of interaction types could have a remarkable impact on the stability of community dynamics (Melián et al 2009, Allesina and Tang 2012, Kéfi et al 2012, Mougi and Kondoh 2012, Suweis et al 2014, García-Callejas et al 2018, Gracia-Lázaro et al 2018).…”

“…In this study, by using the bidirectional consumer-resource (BCR) model proposed by Holland and DeAngelis (2009), we hope to further investigate how the consumer-resource (CR) interaction transition affects network persistence (a measure of stability) and long-term outcomes of species interactions in ecological networks. The interaction transition was generally believed to change the interaction signs (+, − or 0) between two species (Zhang et al 2015). In previous studies, the interaction transition was investigated in the context of density-dependency for a given model structure (Hernandez 1998, Zhang 2003.…”
