d Local stability (real and complex parts of the dominant eigenvalue; \({\lambda }_{{\max }}\)) as a function of interaction strength (\({a}_{{{\mathrm {CR}}}}\)) for the Rosenzweig–MacArthur C–R module. Time series reflect dynamics associated with region i, ii, and iii, respectively, following a perturbation that removes 50% of consumer biomass: a Stable equilibrium; monotonic dynamics. b Stable equilibrium; overshoot dynamics. c Unstable equilibrium; limit cycle. Boldness of arrows indicates the strength of interaction (\({a}_{{CR}}\)).
