Chaotic population dynamics can result from natural selection.

Proceedings. Biological sciences - 22 Jan 1993

Ferrière R, Gatto M

Abstract excerpt

The question of whether animal populations display chaotic dynamics has motivated a thriving body of research for two decades. Yet unambiguous evidence for chaos in the wild remains scarce. Accordingly, it has been proposed that evolutionary forces act to preserve populations from chaos as well as oscillations. We have tested for this hypothesis by considering the dynamics associated with evolutionarily stable...
