ITN call: anybody alive?

Hi , I saw Riccardo's post on ITN call now. Is someone taking the lead on this project?

I work on marine regime shifts (se them issue below, which I designed and for which I served as Editor), and there is a lot that can be done either in terms of ecological understaning or of socioeconomical impacts. If you are doing something on this call, or know someone who does, please let me know.

Ecological regime shifts, are abrupt changes in ecosystems structure and functioning. They can be explained with the theory of nonlinear systems crossing critical thresholds, suddenly bringing unexpected, system-wide, dramatic changes. These shifts can carry significant socio-economic impacts and losses of ecosystem services, for example when they involve fisheries collapses or reef degradations, and as such interest scientists and managers alike, as highlighted in a special issue on marine regime shifts on Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B and numerous other publications. They have been found in all environments (terrestrial, lacustrine, marine). In the marine realm regime shifts have been reported in multiple habitats worldwide, from benthic reefs to pelagic ecosystems. It is likely that we will experience more frequent and more encompassing regime shifts as the predicted climate change scenarios progress.  Future ecosystem management approaches should therefore incorporate knowledge on critical thresholds.

Let me know. Thanks, Alessandra
