Description
Integrating the approaches of the practical and theoretical ecologist, this work aims to establish a methodology of the analysis of biological populations. In an attempt to modernize the study of the dynamics of natural populations, it concentrates on the practical use of simulation and of population dynamic models, particularly the tool of stochastic difference equations. It covers a range of biological examples, including great tits, titmics, Canada lynx, spruce budworm and laboratory populations.
