About this title

Synopsis

From the preface: 'This is a book about modeling that is built around examples in wildlife management. Although it uses computers and mathematical ideas, it is not a textbook on applied ecology, computer programming, or biomathematics.' This primer explains how to build models and how to apply them to large-animal examples for African game preserves. A variety of modeling techniques are introduced including deterministic and stochastic simulation, linear programming, and even expert systems. In general, these discussions are well written, thoughtfully organized, and useful for anyone interested in theoretical approaches to biology.
