Book description

How do plant and animal populations change genetically to evolve and adapt to their local environments? How do populations grow and interact with one another through competition and predation? How does behaviour influence ecology and evolution? Introduction to Population Biology covers all these areas and more. Taking a quantitative and Darwinian perspective, the basic theory of population processes is developed using mathematical models. To allow students of biology, ecology and evolution to gain a real understanding of the subject, key features include:step-by-step instructions for spreadsheet simulations of many basic equations to explore the outcomes or predictions of modelsworked examples showing how the equations are applied to biological questionsproblem sets together with detailed solutions to help the reader test their understandingreal-life examples to help the reader relate the theory to the natural world

Reviews

"The author does a commendable job synthesizing general theory and empirical work in the diverse field of population biology in a comprehensive yet approachable manner for an undergraduate audience. Nevertheless, this book serves as a well-written and comprehensive introduction to the field that will be a valuable reference in undergraduate classes." The Quarterly Review of Biology, Kim T. Scribner

"...this book should be a valuable tool for university professors that teach introductory population biology. The breadth of the subjects covered in the book will make it easier for students to refer to one textbook where they can find all the appropriate information...It is well written, interesting to read and nicely illustrated...The step-by-step instructions for spreadsheet simulations of many of the basic equations should be particularly useful for undergraduate students." - Ecoscience, Eric T. Reed, Canadian Wildlife Service
