At present, most books on ecological modelling rely on very complex
mathematics, resulting in students and researchers shying away from
investigating the potential uses of ecological models and their
methods of construction. This new book aims to open up this
exciting area to a much wider audience. Assuming only basic
mathematical knowledge, the text uses case studies to show how a
relatively small set of techniques of model construction can be
used in a wide range of important applications. Researchers will
find it an invaluable guide to using ecological models in their
work.

* * Uses case studies to clearly demonstrate the applications of
ecological models.

* Avoids complex mathematics.

* A practical how-to guide for ecological researchers.

* Sample ecological models available via this web site.
