The Issue Isn’t Which Model of Consumer Interference Is Right, but Which One Is Least Wrong

چکیده
Empirical observations and an analogy with the history of ballistics illuminate ongoing debate about default choice for types functional responses, based on consumer interference. The two ideal views interference are: (1) There is no direct mutual among consumers (“prey-dependence”), (2) Consumers show strong interference, response depending number prey per (“ratio-dependence”). Each these minimal-information concepts are what we refer to as “root” models, limited accuracy in themselves, but they base upon which erect complex models specific, real-world cases. We argue that ratio dependent view coincides more naturally way model dynamics any population, taken alone it consistent empirical observations. Both root often will give “wrong answer” when applied directly real world Nevertheless, one may be “less wrong” than other. This not unlike developments 400 years ago physics, competed ballistics. Galileo’s demonstration trajectory a projectile parabola eventually replaced had been dominant since Aristotle. ballistic inaccurate presence air friction, parabolic is, overall, less wrong. ratio-dependent model, like trajectory, therefore natural from start thinking consumer-resource interaction developing elaborate models.

متن کاملWhich Modal Logic Is the Right One?
The question, “Which modal logic is the right one for logical necessity?,” divides into two questions, one about model-theoretic validity, the other about proof-theoretic demonstrability. The arguments of Halldén and others that the right validity argument is S5, and the right demonstrability logic includes S4, are reviewed, and certain common objections are argued to be fallacious. A new argum...
متن کاملWhich is which and who is who: Roger Waters up against Media
Pink Floyd was a British band whose work began in the late 60s.
