Mathematical Ecology of Populations and Ecosystems

"Nevertheless, it is an excellent summary which will sweep away the cobwebs from the mind of someone
who has learnt this stuff at some time in the past. . . It would be ideal as a text for a course taught in a mathematics department, to convince mathematics students that their skills in differential equations can be applied to ecological problems." (Austral Ecology, 2011)

"Its best feature a the scientific soundness t hat permeates the whole book, founded on a robust mathematical treatment of most of the arguments." (Ecoscience, June 2010)"I find the publication extremely valuable in the analytical tools that it provides and the depth in which they are covered." (The Quarterly Review of Biology, June 2009)

"I would recommend this book to students or ecologists who work in either population or ecosystems ecology. The mathematics is dense at times, but Pastor does an excellent job of guiding us through the equations and helping us understand what they mean in an ecological context." (Ecology, June 2009)
