摘要: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 eco-system. As an illustration it is shown that the ratio of predator to prey biomass increases under the effects of their combined evolution.
