Title :
Beetles, Cannibalism, and Chaos: Analyzing a Dynamical System Model
Abstract :
A system´s evolution over time can be described with a set of equations called a dynamical system. In this installment, we use a dynamical system to model the life cycle of flour beetles to estimate key parameters that describe their behavior
