Two Paradigms of Population Regulation
No population increases without limit and ecologists have utilised two paradigms to find out why. The density-dependent paradigm assumes that birth, death and movement rates will be related to population density. In many cases they are not, and the search for density dependence has become a holy grail. A better approach is through the mechanistic paradigm which searches for relationships betwee...
متن کاملTwo complementary paradigms for analysing population dynamics.
To understand why population growth rate is sometimes positive and sometimes negative, ecologists have adopted two main approaches. The most common approach is through the density paradigm by plotting population growth rate against population density. The second approach is through the mechanistic paradigm by plotting population growth rate against the relevant ecological processes affecting th...
متن کاملTwo Paradigms of Endogenous Development: Production Process & Supply-demand Relationship
Different world views and philosophies in defining development problems and their solutions derive currently from different disciplines. They refer in many respects to the principle of cause-effect as a fundamental relationship between phenomena. The history of differing values and attitudes presented in management and design indicates the importance of this relationship. This sort of knowledge...
متن کاملTwo Non-standard Paradigms
Serious roadblocks have been encountered in several areas of computer application, for example in the solution of intractable (NP-complete) combinatorial problems, or in the simulation of fluid flow. In this talk we will explore two alternatives to the usual kinds of computers, and ask if they provide some hope of ultimately by-passing what appear to be essential difficulties. Analog computatio...
متن کاملTwo Paradigms of Nonmonotonic Reasoning
We provide a conceptual description of the field of nonmonotonic reasoning as comprising two essentially different theories, preferential and explanatory nonmonotonic reasoning. The relationship between the two constitutes the main theoretical problem of nonmonotonic reasoning, and its solution should hopefully provide an impetus for the future development of the field.
