Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is an edited collection of short chapters describing the variety and uses of mathematical models. Chapter authors … present a diversity of perspectives on modeling. … it is an overview of the purposes and types of models. … more valuable for those already familiar with one type of modeling who want to develop a broader understanding of ecological models. Summing Up … . Graduate students, researchers/faculty, and professionals.” (M. P. Gustafson, Choice, Vol. 49 (6), February, 2012)
“Comprehensive knowledge in ecological modelling is thus essential in modern ecology and the edited textbook ‘Modelling Complex Ecological Dynamics’ (MCED) provides an excellent overview on the development and the state-of-the-art in this wide scientific field that goes far beyond classic or simple method application. … a must read for graduate students, teachers and scientists in ecology.” (Rainer Waldhardt, Basic and Applied Ecology, Vol. 13 (5), August, 2012)
