Statistical aspects of biological organization

Abstract It is shown that some fundamental aspects of biological organization can be derived and understood in the light of time-honoured principles and techniques of physics. In particular, we claim that an appropriate Maximum Entropy Formalism (MAXENT) and an adequate version of the Monte Carlo simulation programs provide a powerful insight into the biomass distributions of the populations of living systems.
