Description for Complex Population Dynamics: A Theoretical/Empirical Synthesis (MPB-35)
Paperback. By bringing together mathematical models, statistical analyses, and field experiments, this book offers a comprehensive synthesis of the theory of population oscillations. It first reviews the conceptual tools that ecologists use to investigate population oscillations and then provides an in-depth discussion of several case studies. Series: Monographs in Population Biology. Num Pages: 472 pages, 13 tables. 59 line illus. BIC Classification: JHBD; PSAF; RGC. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 203 x 127 x 29. Weight in Grams: 571.
Why do organisms become extremely abundant one year and then seem to disappear a few years later? Why do population outbreaks in particular species happen more or less regularly in certain locations, but only irregularly (or never at all) in other locations? Complex population dynamics have fascinated biologists for decades. By bringing together mathematical models, statistical analyses, and field experiments, this book offers a comprehensive new synthesis of the theory of population oscillations. Peter Turchin first reviews the conceptual tools that ecologists use to investigate population oscillations, introducing population modeling and the statistical analysis of time series data. He then ... Read more

Reviews for Complex Population Dynamics: A Theoretical/Empirical Synthesis (MPB-35)
"Turchin has to be congratulated for the conceptual clarity of the book... I especially recommend the book's first two parts to anyone interested in how to model and analyze population fluctuations... Turchin offers researchers and students alike interesting material and a great deal to think about."
