520 _a"Population Dynamics: An Introduction to Computer Simulations is a practical-based guide that teaches the student how to apply and modify the classical mathematical models of population dynamics._ Assuming little in the way of advanced mathematical skills, the models used within population ecology and conservation biology are introduced through the use of simple computer simulations._ Exercises are presented in as simple form as possible, enabling the student to focus on biology rather than mathematical procedures._ New techniques and shortcuts are introduced gradually with commands carefully explained and defined in an extensive glossary. ; ; Key features:; ; ; An introduction to population dynamics by means of computer simulations.; ; Exercises based on MATLAB where no previous experience is required.; ; Prepares students for programming and analyzing their own models of population change.; ; Designed to accompany an undergraduate course in ecology, population biology and conservation.;"--Publisher description.
