This carefully structured laboratory manual explores, by means
of computer simulations, the key areas of population
dynamics through time. Using simply presented exercises, it
teaches the programming and analysing skills students need for
creating their own models of population change. In this way,
readers can contribute constructively to the conservation of
endangered species and the control of pest species.
- Focus on biology rather than mathematical procedures
- Introduces new techniques and shortcuts gradually with carefully explained commands
- Includes an extensive glossary
Undergraduates and postgraduates taking courses in population ecology, behavioural ecology and conservation will find this an ideal accompaniment.
