Abstract
For the past ten years there has been an active application of systems methodology to ecological problems. From this has come a number of models of ecological processes, population interactions and ecological community structure. They range from models of a small number of state variables and a large number of parameters per variable, to those with thirty or more state variables and a small number of parameters per variable. Enough of these models have been developed to begin to show some common behavioural properties.
