Isocline
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An Isocline is a series of lines with the same slope. The word comes from the Greek words Isos (Ίδιος) meaning "same" and Klini (κλίση) meaning "slope." It is often used in ordinary differential equations to describe the general forms of equations.
In population dynamics refers to the set of population sizes at which the rate of change, or partial derivative, for one population in a pair of interacting populations is zero.
