建模者与生态理论的相遇。或者，什么叫“增长率”？
The modellers' encounter with ecological theory. Or, what is this thing called `growth rate'?
摘要：
从实地数据确定人口增长率的尝试揭示了其定义中的几个模糊之处，这似乎使人对这一概念本身产生了疑问。然而，另一种观点提出，不仅保留了身份的概念，但也有助于区分竞争模型捕获的数据。
英文摘要：
The attempt to determine the population growth rate from field data reveals several ambiguities in its definition(s), which seem to throw into question the very concept itself. However, an alternative point of view is proposed that not only preserves the identity of the concept, but also helps discriminate between competing models for capturing the data.
