The Discrete Logistic | Model |
| The logistic is the simplest representation of population dynamics that contains a minimum level of biological realism. If we imagine a population of individuals at time t, the number of individuals in the next period (periods can range from seconds to days to decades depending on the organism) is the number of individuals now plus the number of births minus the number of deaths. If we assume in the simplest case there are no environmental constraints on births or deaths... | 09 Aug 2016 |
