Period-doubling reversals and chaos in simple ecological models

The period-doubling route to chaos is a well known feature of a range of simple, nonlinear difference equations routinely used in modelling biological populations. It is not generally understood, however, that the process may easily break down and suddenly reverse, giving rise to distinctive period-halving bifurcations. These reversals may act to control, and possibly prevent, the onset of chaos.
