Dynamic structural equation models synthesize ecosystem dynamics constrained by ecological mechanisms

Abstract Ecological analyses typically involve many interacting variables. Ecologists often specify lagged interactions in community dynamics (i.e. vector‐autoregressive models) or simultaneous interactions (e.g. structural equation models), but there is less familiarity with dynamic structural equa...
