At the same time, the science of ecology has advanced dramatically, growing in mathematical and theoretical sophistication. Here, two leading experts present the fundamental quantitative principles of ecology in an accessible yet rigorous way, introducing students to the most basic of all ecological subjects, the structure and dynamics of populations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Vandermeer and Deborah Goldberg show that populations are more than simply collections of individuals. Complex variables such as distribution and territory for expanding groups come into play when mathematical models are applied. Vandermeer and Goldberg build these models from the ground up, from first principles, using a broad range of empirical examples, from animals and viruses to plants and humans. They address a host of exciting topics along the way, including age-structured populations, spatially distributed populations, and metapopulations. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis second edition of \u003ci\u003ePopulation Ecology\u003c\/i\u003e is fully updated and expanded, with additional exercises in virtually every chapter, making it the most up-to-date and comprehensive textbook of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides an accessible mathematical foundation for the latest advances in ecology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures numerous exercises and examples throughout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduces students to the key literature in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe essential textbook for advanced undergraduates and graduate students\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn online illustration package is available to professors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John H.
