Completely agree, and it’s likely the challenge of empirically estimating them. I’ve had a few ideas on how to do so (doi.org/10.1111/gcb....), but think many methods are inappropriate for most ecological time series.

Do you have any opinions about the best approaches for identifying time lags?
Planktonic functional diversity changes in synchrony with lake ecosystem state
Using species-level plankton trait and abundance data from five highly monitored lakes, we determined the timing of functional diversity change relative to ecosystem state/functioning. Simple cross-c....
