"It deals mainly with the study of the limiting behavior under different scaling limits of several types of continuous-time individual based models of population dynamics subjected to demographic stochasticity ... . The reader interested in the subject finds in this book very interesting results and a very well organized account on the state of the art, which integrates the main contributions of the authors and many other researchers in the (mostly recent) literature." (Carlos A. Braumann, zbMATH 1333.92004, 2016)
