Abstract

The interrelation between autonomous oscillations in local systems and stable dissipative structures in spatially distributed systems is analyzed. Darwinian evolution in populations comprising the ecosystem is shown to be able to cause the qualitative rearrangements of dynamic modes and smooth appearance of oscillations in local systems. The same evolutionary mechanisms analyzed within bilocal systems, may lead to appearance of dissipative structures (both smooth and sharp).
