Ecologists often avoid this literature, put off by its apparently formidable mathematics. This textbook provides an introduction to the biology and ecology of populations by emphasizing the roles of simple mathematical models in explaining the growth and behavior of populations. The author only assumes acquaintance with elementary calculus, and provides tutorial explanations where needed to develop mathematical concepts. Examples, problems, extensive marginal notes and numerous graphs enhance the book's value to students in classes ranging from population biology and population ecology to mathematical biology and mathematical ecology. The book will also be useful as a supplement to introductory courses in ecology.Ecology Community ecology, BioticAnimal ecologyEnvironmental sciencesConservation biologyEcologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19007Community & Population Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19120Theoretical Ecology/Statisticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19147Animal Ecologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19015Math.
