Lattice effects in ecological time-series are patterns that arise because of the inherent discreteness of animal numbers. In this paper, we suggest a systematic approach for predicting lattice effects. We also show that an explanation of all the patterns in a population time-series may require more than one deterministic model, especially when the dynamics are complex.
生态时间序列中的格子效应是由于动物数量的固有离散性而产生的模式。在本文中,我们提出了一种预测格子效应的系统方法。我们还表明,对种群时间序列中所有模式的解释可能需要不止一个确定性模型,特别是当动态复杂时。
