Based on economic methodology we model an ecosystem with two species in predator-prey relationship: mice feed on grain … and grain feeds on a resource. With optimizing behaviour of individual organisms a short-run ecosystem equilibrium is …-run ecosystem equilibria yields the growth function of the mice population which is thus derived rather than assumed. In each period …

The paper builds on the concept of (shifting) involvements, originally proposed by Albert Hirschman (2002 [1982]). However, unlike Hirschman, the concept is framed in class terms. A model is presented where income distribution is determined by the involvement of the two classes, capitalists and...

Paul Samuelson made a series of important contributions to population theory for humans and other species, evolutionary theory, and the theory of age structured life cycles in economic equilibrium and growth. The work is highly abstract but much of it was intended to illuminate issues of...

Recent research in the transmission of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, some strains of which cause Chagas' disease, suggests that consumption of vectors by sylvatic hosts such as raccoons may play a role in maintaining the transmission cycle in the wild. As both hosts and vectors have...
