Abstract
Completely deterministic regulatory factors can lead to apparently random fluctuations in population density. The authors develop a new method (that can be applied to limited data sets) to make practical distinctions between apparently noisy dynamics produced by low-dimensional chaos and population variation that in fact derives from random (high-dimensional) noise, such as environmental stochasticity or sampling error. There is a discussion by P. Chesson, H.M. Platt & M. Williamson. -from Authors
