Estimating critical abundance thresholds in exploited populations: a simulation approach based on species resilience to disturbance

Managers of exploited species too often assume that populations can be maintained at equilibrium abundances that will provide maximum yield. Most evidence to date suggests that populations seldom adhere to equilibria, but rather fluctuate stochastically between bounds. The last decade has revealed t...
