period of time. By eating the grass, each rabbit decreases the amount of growing
biomass. To maintain normal life and health a rabbit will eat a certain amount of

vegetative biomass, m(n). The entire population will consume m(n)xn amount of the
growing biomass. If the population is excessive, there is a definite possibility that the
entire vegetative biomass in a given area will be consumed. The area will become a
desert, soon leading to the demise of the rabbits.

To ensure the existence of the ecological system over a long period of time, the
following condition must be met: the vegetative biomass reproduced on a given

territory per unit of time must be equal in volume or greater than the vegetative
biomass consumed by living organisms — in this case, rabbits. It is logical to assume
–
that, given N number of rabbits and an excess amount of reproducing biomass this
would favor an increase in the birth rate of rabbits through a change in several
physiological parameters.

However, it is not immediately apparent why in the opposite case, that of an

overpopulation of rabbits, there will be a decrease in birth rate and an increase in the
death rate. But this does happen even when the vegetative biomass, for a certain time,
+
up to several years, is capable of supporting the life of an N population and a high
birth rate. It is difficult for us to imagine that rabbits would consciously reason that
they will have nothing to eat in the following year and would therefore cut their
consumption of food, or think about regulating the size of their families. What then
happens in this case? What functions monitor and regulate the quantity of rabbits and

the population of other species living on a given area? Let us try to analyze this
phenomenon and understand another enigma of nature.

The psi-field, ω, emitted by every individual of a colony is interactive with that of
every other member of the colony and affects the processes taking place in each
individual organism. Let us suppose that there is an optimum density of the population's

shared psi-field, which ensures an optimal existence for the individuals of the species
and the maintenance of ecological balance.

where:

W — is the shared psi-field of the population,

S — is the area of the natural habitat of the population,

ω — is the psi-field emitted by one individual of the species,
