The 1954 reference must be wrong since the equation is not present in this paper. Check if it is present in the 1958 book.

I think the model given on this page would look much better in the formula typeset (ie LaTeX format)

Carrying capacity[edit]

I have been recently pointed out that K is not exactly the carrying capacity. Instead "K is the number above which the stabilizing force tends to reduce the abundance in the next generation, but the population can be above K."

Has someone a better name for K in the case of Ricker model? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.117.18.101 (talk) 10:44, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What you need to make the appropriate changes on Wikipedia is a reliable source. Otherwise you would be engaged in original research. --Epipelagic (talk) 17:28, 22 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
