Abstract: Complex, fractal structures are widespread in ecological systems and in some characteristic features of evolutionary processes. The origin of such patterns in terms of their dynamics is a challenging problem. A theory for these phenomena might have important implications in issues like the process of extinction and diversification or in understanding how predictable are complex biosystems.
