Abstract: 

Model development is of vital importance for understanding and
management of ecological processes. Identifying the complex
relationships between ecological patterns and processes is a crucial
task. Ecological modelling—both qualitatively and quantitatively—plays a
vital role in analysing ecological phenomena and for ecological theory.
This textbook provides a unique overview of modelling approaches.
Representing the state-of-the-art in modern ecology, it shows how to
construct and work with various different model types. It introduces the
background of each approach and its application in ecology.
Differential equations, matrix approaches, individual-based models and
many other relevant modelling techniques are explained and demonstrated
with their use. The authors provide links to software tools and course
materials. With chapters written by leading specialists, “Modelling
Complex Ecological Dynamics” is an essential contribution to expand the
qualification of students, teachers and scientists alike.
