Kim Norris’ comment on Jam’s original Evaltalk post about population ecology and program sustainability

Please also look at publications by W.E. Grant. He and his colleagues apply population ecology concepts to a wide range of issues, from sustainability to applied philosophy. For my doctorate we did exactly
what you describe, in particular, looking at ways that environmental trends influenced likelihood of ameliorating results vs chaotic or downward spiraling results depending upon population structure and dynamics. Very applicable work.
