Key words: rotifers, population dynamics, heterogeneous environment, mathematical simulatio.The population dynamics of rotifers of the same species living in two connected biotopes differing in natural conditions have been simulated using a modified version of the Consensus mathematical model. Intense biomass exchange between biotopes has been demonstrated to disorder originally regular population dynamics and synchronize the oscillations of the plankton biomass, which leads to the invasion of a chaotic dynamic mode.
