Frank Moss was a leading figure in the study of nonlinear and stochastic processes in biological systems. His work, particularly in the area of stochastic resonance, has been highly influential to the interdisciplinary scientific community. This Focus Issue pays tribute to Moss with articles that describe the most recent advances in the field he helped to create. In this Introduction, we review Moss’s seminal scientific contributions and introduce the articles that make up this Focus Issue.
