Non-ergodicity in ecology and evolution.

Abstract excerpt

Stochasticity plays an important role in all biological systems. The standard way to deal with stochasticity involves averaging over an ensemble of independent realizations. However, such mean statistics need not accurately reflect the typical outcomes in any finite sample unless the system satisfies the property of ergodicity, which guarantees that each trajectory will over time experience the same statistics as...
