5.0 out of 5 stars
A user-friendly approach to understanding ecological models,
By the worm (Santa Barbara, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ecological Dynamics (Hardcover)
I have used the text, Ecological Dynamics, for two graduate-level courses in ecological modeling. I have found it to be an excellent introduction into the realm of mathematical modeling, with plenty of detail to launch more advanced inquiries into the subject material. The authors use actual models as the means for presenting the tools and mechanisms behind mathematical modeling. They use a balanced combination of qualitative explanations of ecological theory and underlying assumptions in addition to more quantitative analyses. There are case studies throughout the book which serve as useful ways in which students can apply learned skills to model organismal growth, trophic interactions, metapopulations, and ecosystem dynamics. Not having a strong undergraduate background in such material, I've come to appreciate the approach taken towards modeling in Ecological Dynamics.
