Over the past few weeks we have looked at how both inrinsic (demographic) and extrinsic (environmental) randomness can affect community survival probabilities. As you probably found in your further application questions, there are likely dozens of factors that contribute to both of these sources of stochasticity rather than just the few that we looked at.
Another important consideration is that there are often more than one species affected by a particular environmental or demographic trait and so ecologists also consider the variability across to understand the community level response to some perturbation. Today we will be looking at a few other measures of community stability.
