人口丰度的时间变化表现出多种多样的模式。这种多样性得到了海洋和陆地数据审查者的认可，但他们的解释往往分为两类：与人口或群落结构相关的内部因素；以及由环境决定的外部因素。前者与陆地研究联系在一起，后者与海洋研究联系在一起。在本文中，我们将强调种群动态中特征时间尺度的重要性及其与相关环境力量尺度的关系。我们认为，这些不同尺度之间的耦合，而不是内部或外部过程本身的性质，可以提供模式多样性的部分描述（如果不是解释的话）。
Temporal changes in population abundance display a great diversity of patterns. This diversity is acknowledged by reviewers of marine and terrestrial data, but their explanations tend to fall into two categories: internal factors related to population or community structure; and external aspects determined by the environment. The former we associate with terrestrial studies and the latter with marine. In this paper we shall stress the importance of the characteristic timescales in the dynamics of the populations and their relation to the scales of relevant environmental forces. We shall suggest that the coupling between these different scales, rather than the nature of the internal or external processes themselves, can provide a partial description, if not an explanation, of the diversity of patterns.
