• Ecological and evolutionary dynamics of interconnectedness and modularity 

      Nordbotten, Jan Martin; Levin, Simon A.; Szathmáry, Eörs; Stenseth, Nils Christian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2018-01-23)
      In this contribution, we develop a theoretical framework for linking microprocesses (i.e., population dynamics and evolution through natural selection) with macrophenomena (such as interconnectedness and modularity within ...
    • Irrigated areas drive irrigation water withdrawals 

      Maeso, Arnald Puy; Borgonovo, Emanuele; Lo Piano, Samuele; Levin, Simon A.; Saltelli, Andrea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      A sustainable management of global freshwater resources requires reliable estimates of the water demanded by irrigated agriculture. This has been attempted by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) through country ...
    • Models with higher effective dimensions tend to produce more uncertain estimates 

      Maeso, Arnald Puy; Beneventano, Pierfrancesco; Levin, Simon A.; Lo Piano, Samuele; Portaluri, Tommaso; Saltelli, Andrea (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      Mathematical models are getting increasingly detailed to better predict phenomena or gain more accurate insights into the dynamics of a system of interest, even when there are no validation or training data available. Here, ...
