Abstract
By treating mutant populations as fluctuations relating to the structural stability of the equations of population dynamics, a criterion is developed permitting the prediction of long-term population trends in an evolving ecosystem. The ratio of predator to prey biomass increases under the effects of their combined evolution.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
