✦ Synopsis
It is pointed out that the asymptotic general solution to the 0-model equation for a periodic carrying capacity K(t) and t ~, r-~ is identical in form to the generalized logistic equation solution with a built-in developmental time delay z(~ r-~) and associated parameter ranges of primary biological interest. In the case of the 0-model equation, the time delay is a purely dynamical consequence of the nonlinear form featured by the population growth rate.
