Ecology is the quintessential systems science, dealing with such challenges in a holistic way.<\/p>\n The EEP approach is complemented by studies of adaptation and evolution to account for the ubiquitous capacity of agents to alter their features and interactions in response to environmental change. Applied mathematics and theoretical physics also contribute advanced tools to the mix of methodologies characteristic of EEP\u2019s research.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section admin_label=”section” fullwidth=”on” specialty=”off”][et_pb_fullwidth_portfolio admin_label=”Fullwidth Portfolio” fullwidth=”on” posts_number=”9″ show_title=”on” show_date=”off” background_layout=”dark” auto=”on” auto_speed=”5000″] [\/et_pb_fullwidth_portfolio][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
