Abstract
Two things are crucial to the study of animal population dynamics: to carry out an uninterrupted long-term observation of a natural population and to apply theoretical knowledge to the analysis, interpretation and synthesis of the results.
‘..., we all know that 50 years from now, most of the things we learned here will turn out not to have been quite right.’
Jacob Bronowsky (The Origins of Knowledge and Imagination, 1978)
