Abstract: In the time evolution of populations, many attractors can be found: fixed points, limit cycles and chaotic regimes. Usually, chaotic behaviour is observed in species which have well defined breeding seasons and a high fertility rate. Different mathematical models have been used in order to simulate those regimes. In this paper, we use the bitstring model introduced to simulate the evolution of age-structured populations -- the Penna Model -- to simulate a sort of cyclic and chaotic behaviours. In comparison with the standard logistic map, our results show a time changing parameter.
