C212 Assigment 4 C212 Assignment 4 Population Dynamics.
Life goes in cycles.
Suppose you have an island with a limited supply of food and a population of rabbits. Rabbits multiply and produce more rabbits at an alarming rate, but nature keeps things in a type of cyclical ballance. When there are too many rabits there is not enough food and the birth rate drops. However there is often a lag between the population rate and food supply. In particular, the number of rabits born next week will depend upon the food supply 4 weeks ago.
