How to predict community responses to perturbations in the face of imperfect knowledge and network complexity

It is a challenge to predict the response of a large, complex system to a perturbation. Recent attempts to predict the behaviour of food webs have revealed that the effort needed to understand a system grows quickly with its complexity, because increasingly precise information on the elements of the system …
