TL;DR: A proposed standard protocol for describing IBMs and ABMs, developed and tested by 28 modellers who cover a wide range of fields within ecology, and considered as a first step for establishing a more detailed common format of the description of IBm and ABM.

TL;DR: This paper argues that recent advances in ecological modeling have come together in a general strategy that provides a unifying framework for decoding the internal organization of agent-based complex systems and may lead toward unifying algorithmic theories of the relation between adaptive behavior and system complexity.

TL;DR: This work provides a conceptual basis for IBMs by describing five major types of individual variation in IBMs: spatial, ontogenetic, phenotypic, cognitive, and genetic.

TL;DR: A suite of ecological interactions previously underestimated in importance have become research foci: overwintering of key organisms, the microbial food web, parasitism, and food quality as a limiting factor and an extended role of higher order predators.

TL;DR: In this article, an integrative review of the observed and predicted impacts of climate change on shallow lakes in the Netherlands and put these impacts in an international perspective is presented, focusing on six management objectives as bioindicators for the functioning of these ecosystems: target species, nuisance species, invading species, transparency, carrying capacity and biodiversity.
