The enemy, much more deadly than the British Redcoats, is in fact, global ecological catastrophe caused by the unbridled increase in the human population, the wanton and gluttonous utilization of the earth's precious and limited resources, and the careless despoliation o...
متن کاملPopulation ecology issues in tumor growth.
Mathematical models developed from population ecology are applied to tumor-host interactions and demonstrate the importance of increased efficiency in substrate absorption as a mechanism enabling tumor cells to (a) proliferate despite inefficient energy production and (b) compete successfully for resources with the numerically superior host cells. As with many biological invasions observed in n...
