A bifurcation is when you vary some parameter in a system that at some point changes the system's stability in some way. For example, if you balance too much mass on top of a beam it will buckle (pic related). The type of parameters is everything such as "mass", "density", "frequency", "number of animals" etc. etc. There are many different kinds of bifurcations that change the stability in the system in specific ways. As far as I know, "phase transition" has no real meaning in the study of nonlinear dynamics and chaos.
