Chaos was proposed in the 1970s as an alternative explanation for apparently noisy
fluctuations in population size. Although readily demonstrated in models, the search for …

Micro-organisms play a central role in every ecosystem and in the global biomass cycle.
They are strongly involved in many fields of human interest, from medicine to the food …

MATHEMATICAL ECOLOGY Population ecologists study how births and deaths affect the
dynamics of populations and communities, while ecosystem ecologists study how species …

Reviewed were the problems and methods for control of chaos, which in the last decade
was the subject of intensive studies. Consideration was given to their application in various …

An individual-based model has been developed and designed to simulate the growth and
behaviour of bacterial colonies. The simulator is called INDISIM, which stands for INDividual …

We used small perturbations in adult numbers to control large fluctuations in the chaotic
demographic dynamics of laboratory populations of the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. A …

How do the behavioural interactions between individuals in an ecological system produce
the global population dynamics of that system? Wepresent a stochastic individual–based …

Simple models of density-dependent population growth such as the discrete logistic map
provide powerful demonstrations of complex population dynamics. Yet it is unclear whether …

Environmental pollution has led to many ecological issues, including air, water, and soil
contamination. Develo** appropriate pollution control measures to mitigate these hazards …

The period-doubling route to chaos has occupied a prominent position and it is still object of
great interest among the different complex phenomena observed in nonlinear dynamical …
