(n.) The system of Malthusian doctrines relating to population.
Example Sentences:

(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.
