Description The dynamic replicator equation is inferred from a generalized Kolmogorov-type dynamic system that is called selection system. This way, both systems have the same dimension. The main result shows that the replicator equation is in a certain sense equivalent to a selection system of lower dimension. Corollaries demonstrating connections with known results are also presented. The equations are interpreted as models of biological evolution on different time scales. Hence, the results show a link between ecology and evolution at least on the level of mathematical models.
