Beaver dam-building behavior, like bee foraging, etc., can be analyzed as
a dynamic system converging to a fixed (or set) point. It doesn't show the
complex periodic/chaotic dynamics seen in human social behavior. Peter
Kugler at Radford has been studying bee and ant colony behavior in terms
of the dynamic evolution of a non-linear system and has seen quite a bit
of success.

Cheers,
