Flour beetles of the genus Tribolium have been utilised as informative study systems for over
a century and contributed to major advances across many fields. This review serves to …

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 …

The most remarkable fact about the universe is that certain parts of it are conscious.
Somehow nature has managed to pull the rabbit of experience out of a hat made of mere …

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 …

Although mean rates of spread for invasive species have been intensively studied, variance
in spread rates has been neglected. Variance in spread rates can be driven exogenously by …

Population dynamics models remain largely deterministic, although the presence of random
fluctuations in nature is well recognized. This deterministic approach is based on the implicit …

Estimates of uncertainty are the basis for inference of population risk. Uncertainty is
estimated from models fitted to data that typically include a deterministic model (eg …

In this paper, we review the concept of sustainability with regard to a single–species, age–
structured fish population with density dependence at some stage of its life history. We trace …

This text reflects the immense current growth in interest in agroecology and changing
approaches to it. While it is acknowledged that the science of ecology should be the basis of …

An important component of the mathematical definition of chaos is sensitivity to initial
conditions. Sensitivity to initial conditions is usually measured in a deterministic model by …
