Description
Feed starving elk and more die than would have otherwise. Shoot coyotes and their population remains the same.But in the last few years,ecological science has begun,for the first time,to make sense of the baffling paradoxes of natural systems.The answers lie in a 'mathematical ecology' which pursues truth at a deeper level,in the mathematical relationships that link the fates of all plant and animals in a natural community.
