The idea of niche construction is regarded as an interesting, if not essential, element of population dynamics. Classical results from population biology emerge from such a formulation, such as chaotic behavior, the self-organized emergence of Allee points, critical transitions, and hysteresis. Relaxing the assumption of a descending limb in classic 1-D map representations of chaos, the application of the Pomeau–Manneville map is suggested as more realistic in some situations. This alternative formulation does not allow for the emergence of a “self-organized” Allee point but introduces a new concept to the potential behavior of populations in discrete time, intermittency sensitively dependent on initial conditions, but with a distorted form referred to as weak chaos.

人口模型中利基构建带来的混乱，弱点和间歇性

生态位建设的想法被认为是人口动态的一个有趣的，即使不是必不可少的要素。人口生物学的经典结果来自这种表述，例如混沌行为，Allee点的自组织出现，临界转变和迟滞。放宽经典一维地图表示中的下降肢假设，在某些情况下建议使用Pomeau–Manneville地图更为现实。这种替代的表达方式不允许出现“自组织”的Allee点，但为离散时间中的人口潜在行为引入了新概念，间歇性敏感地取决于初始条件，但是具有被称为弱混沌的扭曲形式。 。
