Complex Behavior in a Discrete Coupled Logistic Model for the Symbiotic Interaction of Two Species by Ricardo López-Ruiz, Danièle Fournier-Prunaret

“…The coupling depends on the population sizeof both species and on a positive constant $\lambda$, called the mutual benefit.Different dynamical regimes are obtained when the mutual benefit is modified.For small $\lambda$, the species become extinct. For increasing $\lambda$,the system stabilizes in a synchronized state or oscillates in a two-periodic orbit.For the greatest permitted values of $\lambda$, the dynamics evolves into a quasiperiodic,into a chaotic scenario, or into extinction. …”

The value of forming ecological frames of territories for the conservation of forest ecosystems by Nadezda Prokhorova, Zoran Govedar, Evgenya Moiseeva

“…The reduction in the area of natural ecosystems leads to a significant reduction in the biodiversity of the most diverse groups of organisms. The extinction and significant reduction of species (very often even background for certain territories) leads to a decrease in genetic biodiversity, and, as a consequence, a disruption to evolutionary processes. …”
