What's the difference between malthusian and resource?
Malthusian
Definition:
(a.) Of or pertaining to the political economist, the Rev. T. R. Malthus, or conforming to his views; as, Malthusian theories.
Example Sentences:
(1) This paper is concerned with the connection between two classes of population variables: measures of population growth rate--the Malthusian parameter, the net reproduction rate, the gross reproduction rate, and the mean life expectancy; and measures of demographic heterogeneity--population entropy.
(2) The well-known disagreement between Malthusian and Marxian viewpoints therefore has its foundation in method.
(3) This paper presents a unified account of the properties of the measures, Malthusian parameter and entropy in predicting evolutionary change in populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals.

(9) Using a relation between these measures and the Malthusian parameter, it is shown that in a random mating population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, and under slow selection, the rate of change of entropy is equal to the genetic variance in entropy minus the genetic covariance of entropy and reproductive potential.
(10) These properties, which are valid for populations of macromolecules, cells and individuals, show that the Malthusian parameter and entropy act as complimentary fitness indices in understanding evolutionary change in populations.

(14) The reproductive potential measures the mean of the contribution of the different age classes to the Malthusian parameter.
(15) Entropy determines population stability: the gain in the Malthusian parameter due to small fluctuations in the life-cycle variables is determined by entropy.
(16) The Malthusian parameter is precisely the difference between the entropy and the reproductive potential.
(17) It is shown that only a population with development rates maximizing the Malthusian function (reaching zero value at the equilibrium state of the system) is able to survive under competition for food resources.
(18) They were dominated by the new Malthusian nightmare, the tussle with malaria, the eradication of smallpox, the improved control of some other serious infections, the struggles for family planning, breast-feeding, immunization, and clean water, among other things, and above all, perhaps, by the decline of the doctor and the rise of the planner and manager.
(19) It is shown that a Malthusian or neo-Malthusian view of the population problem is inevitable if enquiry is founded in empiricism or in normative analytics.
(20) First, the coefficient of variation in population size appears to be inversely related to the Malthusian parameter of population growth.
Resource
Definition:
(n.) That to which one resorts orr on which one depends for supply or support; means of overcoming a difficulty; resort; expedient.
(n.) Pecuniary means; funds; money, or any property that can be converted into supplies; available means or capabilities of any kind.
