Review text

Biological adaptability has been proved to be analysable by means of the Maximum Entropy Formalism (MAXENT) in some cases of non-interacting systems. This formalism is extended to the biomass statistical structures of populations exhibiting internal interactions (i.e. predator-prey effects).
