Description
It is impossible to predict the exact behavior of all biological systems and how these same systems are exemplified by patterns of complexity
and regularity. Decades of research in ecology have documented how these sorts of patterns are the consequences of deceptively simple
rules that determine the nature of the patterns created.
Chaos in Ecology will explain how simple beginnings result
in complicated results.
Chaos in Ecology is the inaugural volume of Theoretical Ecology Series. The authors of this
volume have employed data from a proven model system in population dynamics. As a result, this book will be of interest to anyone interested
in the ecology of populations.
