Stability and complexity : a reappraisal of the Competitive Exclusion Principle

Creator:: Duran, Israel N.
Abstract:: Elton (1927) realized that, intuitively at least, nature was complex and stable. And that the last property contributed to the first. This idea was challenged mathematically by Gardner and Ashby (1970) and May (1972), and in the years following various models have attempted to reconcile these opposing views. Unlike previous...
