Properties of Neutrality and Its Importance for Maintaining Biodiversity and Stability of Systems

Abstract

Ospanova N.K

There is a category of terms that do not have a strict scientific formulation. These include the term “neutrality”. Previous researchers used it in relation to each specific situation, including for objects that may have nothing in common with each other. With this approach, each specific case has its own neutrality, different from others, which does not contribute to the development of a scientific definition of the term. Analysis of numerous data leads to the understanding that the definition must be given from the perspective of probability theory. There are two types of neutrality – the first and second kind. The need for the precise definition of the term and clarification of the properties of neutrality are due to the universality of the phenomenon of neutralism; without taking it into account, the characteristics of the evolutionary process cannot be complete.
