We study the statistics of ecosystems with a variable number of co-evolving species. The species interact in two ways: by prey-predator relationships and by direct competition with…
Vertical transmission of culture and the distribution of family names
Damian H. Zanette, Susanna C. Manrubia
A stochastic model for the evolution of a growing population is proposed, in order to explain empirical power-law distributions in the frequency of family names as a function of th…
