The Circle That Never Ends: Can Complexity Be Made Simple?
There is no need to try to ease into the discussion because the issue being discussed here is too involved to waste words that way. It is important to get right to the point. The starting premise is that we seek to understand the world in which we live. This leads immediately to a whole set of related premises that define the problem as being the answer to the question “how we can obtain that w...

متن کاملSympatric Speciation in a Simple Food Web
Observations of the evolution of species groups in nature, such as well recognized Galapagos finches, have motivated much theoretical research aimed at understanding the processes associated with such radiations. The Penna model is one such model and has been widely used to study aging. In this paper we use the basic Penna model to investigate the process of sympatric speciation in a simple foo...
متن کاملA social network caught in the Web
We present an analysis of Club Nexus, an online community at Stanford University. Through the Nexus site we were able to study a reflection of the real world community structure within the student body. We observed and measured social network phenomena such as the small world effect, clustering, and the strength of weak ties. Using the rich profile data provided by the users we were able to ded...
متن کاملModeling Food-Web Dynamics: Complexity-Stability Implications
We discuss theoretical aspects of the broader food-web research agenda, particularly the background and various approaches used for modeling food-web dynamics in abstract systems with more than two taxa. Much of this type of modeling has oriented itself around the classic and enduring complexity-stability debate in ecology, especially those aspects which relate to the theoretical and associated...
