Lévy processes and anomalous diffusion have shown to be both powerful and useful tools for qualitatively and quantitatively describing a wide variety of spatial population ecological phenomena and dynamics, such as invasion fronts and search strategies. Adopting a self-contained, textbook-style approach, the authors provide the elements of statistical physics and stochastic processes on which the modeling of movement ecology is based and systematically introduce the physical characterization of ecological processes at the microscopic, mesoscopic and macroscopic levels. The explicit definition of these levels and their interrelations is particularly suitable to coping with the broad spectrum of space and time scales involved in bio-ecological problems.   Including numerous exercises (with solutions), this text is aimed at graduate students and newcomers in this field at the interface of theoretical ecology, mathematical biology and physics. 410 0$aSpringer Series in Synergetics,$x0172-7389 606 $aSociophysics 606 $aEconophysics 606 $aEcology  606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aComputational complexity 606 $aSystem theory 606 $aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P33030 606 $aTheoretical Ecology/Statistics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19147 606 $aGenetics and Population Dynamics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31010 606 $aComplexity$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T11022 606 $aComplex Systems$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M13090 615 0$aSociophysics. 615 0$aEconophysics. 615 0$aEcology . 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aComputational complexity. 615 0$aSystem theory. 615 14$aData-driven Science, Modeling and Theory Building. 615 24$aTheoretical Ecology/Statistics. 615 24$aGenetics and Population Dynamics. 615 24$aComplexity. 615 24$aComplex Systems. 676 $a519.62 700 $aMéndez$b Vicenç$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791974 702 $aCampos$b Daniel$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 702 $aBartumeus$b Frederic$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300386903321 996 $aStochastic Foundations in Movement Ecology$92520156 997 $aUNINA
