paraphrase

• Many daisy, rabbit, and fox types were first brought together by Lovelock to create a numerical model for biodiversity.
• In the real world, biological systems are continually being perturbed by the cycles of
  • day and night,
  • the turn of the seasons,
  • changes in the climate, and
  • innumerable other factors.
