I searched in vain for a central unifying concept on which to organize a theory of population ecology until, 30 years ago, I read a small book of essays edited by John Milsum of McGill University entitled Positive Feedback – A General Systems Approach to Positive/Negative Feedback and Mutual Causality. Stimulated by the articles in this book, particularly those written by Milsum, M. Maruyama, and A. Rapoport, I began to structure my lectures around the central ideas of general systems theory. I first used this approach in my graduate courses in population dynamics and population management and then, encouraged by the results, in my undergraduate course in forest entomology and to teach population dynamics to practicing foresters. Almost without exception, my students found the general systems approach intuitively reasonable and easier to understand | | 出版日期 | Textbook 2008Latest edition | | 关键词 | Behavior; Ecology; Population dynamics; Population ecology; Population regulation; Population system; biol | | 版次 | 2 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4020-6819-5 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-007-9836-6 | | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4020-6819-5 | | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2008 |
