Students often find it difficult to grasp fundamental ecological
and evolutionary concepts because of their inherently mathematical
nature. Likewise, the application of ecological and evolutionary
theory often requires a high degree of mathematical competence.

theory often requires a high degree of mathematical competence.
This book is a first step to addressing these difficulties,
providing a broad introduction to the key methods and underlying
concepts of mathematical models in ecology and evolution. The
book is intended to serve the needs of undergraduate and
postgraduate ecology and evolution students who need to access
the mathematical and statistical modelling literature essential
to their subjects.

The book assumes minimal mathematics and statistics knowledge
whilst covering a wide variety of methods, many of which are at
the fore-front of ecological and evolutionary research. The book
also highlights the applications of modelling to practical
problems such as sustainable harvesting and biological control.
