[I]f these models, despite their different assumptions, lead to similar results, we have what we can call a robust theorem that is that robustness analysis appears to be a form of non-empirical confirmation Levins' original discussion of robustness analysis provides little general characterization of the practice. Schematically, robustness analysis consists in analyzing a set of models M1, . In these passages, Levins is characterizing robustness analysis quite differently than Orzack and Sober have. This makes predator-prey models excellent examples with which to study robustness analysis. how theorists have analyzed models of predator-prey systems to discover a The analysis of predator-prey models and the discovery of the Volterra principle provides an excellent template for a more general characterization of Finally, the theorist can conduct stability analysis of the robust theorem to determine what conditions in the set of models subjected to robustness analysis.	./cache/work_me3eewifgjdnjbfyamk55zi3yi.pdf	./txt/work_me3eewifgjdnjbfyamk55zi3yi.txt
