Hirata \& Fukao (1977, Math. Biosci. 33, 321-334) showed that the model of mass and energy flow in closed ecosystems presented by Ulanowicz (1972, J. theor. Biol. 34, 239-253) and May (1973, J. theor. Biol. 39, 155-163) was physically inconsistent and proposed an improved version of it. It is shown
In this paper, we investigate the problem of secondary extinction in food webs through the use of dominator trees, network topological structures that reduce food webs to linear pathways that are essential for energy delivery. Each species along these chains is responsible for passing energy to the
A little understood question in climate and ecological modelling is when a system appropriately can be considered in statistical equilibrium or quasi-steady state. The answer bears on a host of central issues, including the ability of small perturbations to cause large catastrophes, the constant dri
