Ecology and statistics: Nonlinear sheep in a noisy world
Nils Chr. Stenseth1 & Kung-Sik Chan2
Population ecologists have long been interested in two key topics1: the first is the relative importance of intrinsic factors (such as the inhibition of reproduction at high population densities) and extrinsic environmental variations in determining population fluctuations; the second is nonlinearity in the processes that generate these fluctuations. On page 674 of this issue, Grenfell and co-workers2 discuss both of these issues.
