Patricia Lane. Dalhousie University. Goal. : to illustrate how Dick Levins’ loop analysis is useful for analyzing complex systems using a marine ecosystem example. Rationale: we have one ocean, which is constantly under threat; we need to understand how perturbations affect ecological networks through a myriad of pathways and feedbacks.
