Summary
Population biology examines the dynamics of numbers of organisms. This book is an introduction to the biology and ecology of populations, emphasizing the roles of simple mathematical models in explaining the growth and behavior of populations. Examples and real data enrich the mathematics, and tutorial explanations are used throughout. This new edition includes additional problems with answers, a series of Excel spreadsheets that clearly illustrate the models, and an increased number of biological examples.
