The authors are among the first researchers to pioneer the use of dynamical systems models to successfully describe and predict animal behavior in relation to environmental changes. The text highlights the biological and mathematical techniques used in the research, including three main components: 1) large data sets on natural populations in the field; 2) mathematical models rigorously tied to data, which describe, explain, and predict behavioral dynamics in relation to environmental variables; and 3) simplified, proof-of-concept models to probe dynamic mechanisms, suggest testable hypotheses, and allow study of the consequences of environmental change and evolving traits. It is a suitable text for field ecologists interested in the modeling procedures and conclusions addressed therein, as well as mathematicians interested inapplications to population, ecological, and evolutionary dynamics. 410 0$aInterdisciplinary Applied Mathematics,$x2196-9973 ;$v57 606 $aBiomathematics 606 $aGeography$xMathematics 606 $aMathematical and Computational Biology 606 $aMathematics of Planet Earth 615 0$aBiomathematics. 615 0$aGeography$xMathematics. 615 14$aMathematical and Computational Biology. 615 24$aMathematics of Planet Earth. 676 $a591.5 700 $aCushing$b Jim M.$01363391 702 $aHenson$b Shandelle M. 702 $aHayward$b James L. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK9 912 $a9910799208903321 996 $aModeling Behavior and Population Dynamics$93872909 997 $aUNINA
