| group dynamics | A term used to represent the study of underlying features of group behaviour, e.g., motives, attitudes; it is concerned with group change rather than with static characteristics. (05 Mar 2000) |

| population dynamics | <epidemiology> The pattern of any process, or the interrelationship of phenomena, which affects growth or change within a population. (12 Dec 1998) |
| nonlinear dynamics | The study of systems which respond disproportionately (nonlinearly) to initial conditions or perturbing stimuli. Nonlinear systems may exhibit chaos which is classically characterised as sensitive dependence on initial conditions. Chaotic systems, while distinguished from more ordered periodic systems, are not random. When their behaviour over time is appropriately displayed (in phase space), constraints are evident which are described by strange attractors. Phase space representations of chaotic systems, or strange attractors, usually reveal fractal (fractals) self-similarity across time scales. Natural, including biological, systems often display nonlinear dynamics and chaos. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dynamics | 1. <physics> That branch of mechanics which treats of the motion of bodies . Dynamics is held by some recent writers to include statics and not kinematics. 2. The moving moral, as well as physical, forces of any kind, or the laws which relate to them. 3. That department of musical science which relates to, or treats of, the power of tones.

| ecosystem dynamics | Those intrinsic ecological functions through which an ecosystem becomes self-regulating, self-sustaining, and capable of recovery from external forces (for example, damaging storm events). These intrinsic processes may cause continual change in biotic composition and structure at specific localities. Collectively, these changes represent internal flux, rather than substantive and permanent alteration of the ecosystem regionally. (09 Oct 1997) |
