Modeling Behavior and Population Dynamics

"This outstanding monograph makes a forceful case that mathematical and empirical rigour can be successfully combined to explain complex behaviours of often fragile populations, impacted strongly by human industry. ... it should be of interest both to applied mathematicians looking to apply their work to more urgent hypothesis-driven science, and field ecologists who are looking for examples of how to build models of quantitative, accurate models of behaviour using relatively simple and deterministic mathematical tools.” (Chay Paterson, zbMATH 1554.92002, 2025)
