Résumé :
|
This monograph and the series of which it is a part contain papers from congresses held at College Station (Texas), Berkeley (California), Parma (Italy) and Jerusalem in 1977 an 1978. However, about one third of the papers in this volume were not presented at one of the congresses. The easiest characterization of the contributions in this volume is that about half of the papers relate to the principles of modelling and population dynamics without particular applications, and about half deal with the modelling of exploited or harvested populations. One pattern is a search for alternative mathematical representations of dynamics in ecological systems. Mathematical models should be more than reflections of how physicists perceive the physical universe, they should reflect how biologists perceive the reality of population dynamics. A sense of the search for more meaningful mathematical representations should be apparent in these papers. A second pattern that emerges is a concern over the inattention given to the properties of populations that underlie their ability to occupy diverse ecological habitats and to adapt to habitat changes.
