Order and Chaos in Ecological Systems
Abstract
Systems of differential equations exhibiting complex periodic or chaotic behavior can sometimes be associated with one—dimensional mappings (difference equations) which encapsulate the properties of the attractor governing the full n—dimensional system. Recent advances make it possible to reconstruct the underlying attractor, and hence the one—dimensional map, from time—series data for a single state variable (species). The present paper illustrates this technique with reference to a hypothetical system consisting of a single predator species and two species of victims. Trapping records for Canadian lynx suggest that the method may have application to real—world populations.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
