Abstract Qualitative theory for multidimensional stochastic dynamical models $$\dot x = f(x, \xi )$$ is presented where the random influences ξ may be white or colored, i.e. a (possibly bounded) diffusion process. We concentrate on transience, stationary solutions and boundary behavior and discuss a set-up for reliable simulations. The method consists in associating a deterministic control system where the (approximate) controllability properties determine the qualitative behavior of the stochastic system. Applications to some biological systems indicate the usefulness of qualitative theory in life sciences.
