Population Ecology: An Introduction to Computer Simulations |
| Ruth Bernstein (University of Colorado, USA ) |
| Population Dynamics: An Introduction to Computer Simulations is a practical-based guide that teaches the student how to apply and modify the classical mathematical models of population dynamics. Assuming little in the way of advanced mathematical skills, the models used within population ecology and conservation biology are introduced through the use of simple computer simulations. Exercises are presented in as simple form as possible, enabling the student to focus on biology rather than mathematical procedures. New techniques and shortcuts are introduced gradually with commands carefully explained and defined in an extensive glossary. Key features: *An introduction to population dynamics by means of computer simulations. *Exercises based on MATLAB where no previous experience is required. *Prepares students for programming and analyzing their own models of population change. *Designed to accompany an undergraduate course in ecology, population biology and conservation.
