Students often find it difficult to grasp fundamental ecological and evolutionary concepts because of their inherently mathematical nature. Likewise, the application of ecological and evolutionary theory often requires a high degree of mathematical competence.

This book is a first step to addressing these difficulties, providing a broad introduction to the key methods and underlying concepts of mathematical models in ecology and evolution. The book is intended to serve the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate ecology and evolution students who need to access the mathematical and statistical modelling literature essential to their subjects.

The book assumes minimal mathematics and statistics knowledge whilst covering a wide variety of methods, many of which are at the fore-front of ecological and evolutionary research. The book also highlights the applications of modelling to practical problems such as sustainable harvesting and biological control.

First edition, 2010, Elsevier Inc. 301 pages. The title of Marc Kery’s book, Introduction to WinBUGS for Ecologists, provides some good hints about its content. From this title, we might guess that the book focuses on a piece of software, WinBUGS, that the treatment will not presuppose extensive knowledge of this software, and that the focus will be on the kinds of questions and inference problems that are faced by scientists who do ecology. So w...
