Theoretical mathematical models are perhaps one of the most powerful approaches available for increasing our understanding of the complex population dynamics in these natural systems. Exciting new techniques are currently being developed to meet this challenge, such as generalized or structural modeling, adaptive dynamics or multiplicative processes. Many of these new techniques stem from the field of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, where even the simplest mathematical rule can generate a rich variety of dynamical behaviors that bear a strong analogy to biological populations." 410 0$aWorld Scientific lecture notes in complex systems ;$vv. 7. 606 $aPopulation biology$xMathematical models 606 $aEcology$xMathematical models 606 $aEpidemiology$xMathematical models 606 $aGenetics$xMathematical models 615 0$aPopulation biology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEcology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aEpidemiology$xMathematical models. 615 0$aGenetics$xMathematical models. 676 $a577.8/8 701 $aBlasius$b Bernd$01501194 701 $aKurths$b J$g(Ju?rgen),$f1953-$0517276 701 $aStone$b Lewi$01501195 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910784701603321 996 $aComplex population dynamics$93728310 997 $aUNINA
