With good reason: the living world is full of nonlinearities, responsible for steady states, regular oscillations, and chaos in biological systems. Evolutionists may find nonlinear dynamics important in studying short-term dynamics of changes in genotype frequency, and in understanding selection and its constraints. More speculatively, dynamical systems theory may be important because nonlinear fluctuations in some traits may sometimes be favored by selection, and because some long-run patterns of evolutionary change could be described using these methods. date: 1995-12 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier id_number: 10.1016/S0169-5347(00)89194-6 iiasapubid: XJ-95-120 iiasa_bibref: Trends in Ecology & Evolution; 10(12):480-485 (December 1995) iiasa_bibnotes: [doi:10.1016/S0169-5347(00)89194-6] creators_browse_id: 1248 full_text_status: none publication: Trends in Ecology & Evolution refereed: TRUE issn: 1872-838 coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/article citation: Ferriere, R. & Fox, G.
