Animal Life Cycle Models

  • Chapter
Phenology: An Integrative Environmental Science

Part of the book series: Tasks for Vegetation Science ((TAVS,volume 39))

Abstract

The development of phenology-modeling methodologies in the field of animal ecology has tended to precede that of computing technology in the past 30 years, since the introduction of nonlinear and distributed models of poikilotherm thermal responses. These models are becoming increasingly sophisticated, detailed and accurate, and the study of their behavior is teaching us about the evolution of seasonality and the effects of temperature on the distribution and population stability of poikilotherms. It is also becoming increasingly feasible to investigate the outcomes of phenological processes through models that make predictions over large, climatically and topographically complex areas.
