Abstract
We discuss effects of stochasticity and time delays in simple models of population dynamics. In social-type models, where individuals react to the information concerning the state of the population at some earlier time, sufficiently large time delays may cause oscillations. In biological-type models, where some changes already take place in the population at an earlier time, oscillations might not be present for any time delay. We illustrate this idea in models of delayed random walks, gene expression, and population dynamics of evolutionary game theory.
