Discrete dynamical model of mechanisms determining the relations of biodiversity and stability at different levels of organization of living matter

Abstract

The paper aims at building the model of relations of biodiversity and stability at different levels of organization of living matter with the use of discrete dynamical models. The relations revealed in the study are illustrated by case studies of zooplankton community of the eutrophicated lake and the colorimetric parameters of the microalgae community of phytobenthos and phytoperiphyton. The results offer: (1) new approaches to estimating the risk of mass development of toxic cyanobacteria in eutrophicated reservoirs, and (2) new indicators for unmasking animals with protective coloring on the background of plant communities by image processing of digital photos.
