Features: Chaos is the third scientific revolution of the 20th century following relativity and quantum mechanics. This book starts with the simplest population model in ecology and introduces in an accessible manner the pathways to chaos in life sciences, including period-doubling bifurcation, intermittent chaos, and quasi-periodic routes. It also covers the fundamental characteristics, identification, and analytical methods of chaos. The book particularly highlights research achievements and applications in ecology, biochemistry, molecular biology, epidemiology, and related biological fields. Additionally, it describes the mechanisms and methods of chaos control and their significance in biology. The book is comprehensive, detailed, and easy to understand, making it an advanced popular science reading for those interested in this research direction. It can also serve as a reference for students, teachers, and researchers in biology, medicine, physics, chemistry, and related fields.
