Media Reviews
For those with a taste for mathematical elegance and an interest in the full array of approaches available for modeling populations with complex life cycles, this book is a must. * Larry Barnthouse, SETAC Globe *
Both the scope of issues and the means by which they are exposed show the author's desire to create a book that might be interesting and useful not only for the beginner, but for the expert too. Hal Caswell has succeeded remarkably in doing both. * Dmitrii O. Logofet, Ecological Modelling *
To say that the extent of material covered in this book is impressive is an understatement. If your research endeavors include population biology, or you teach a course in population biology, you need this text. * Floyd W. Weckerly, Natural Resource Modeling *
Author Bio
Hal Caswell is a Senior Scientist in the Biology Department at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, where he holds the Robert W. Morse Chair for Excellence in Oceanography. He earned a Ph.D. in Zoology in 1974 at Michigan State University. In addition to Matrix Population Models, Dr. Caswell is a coauthor (with S. Tuljapurkar) of Structured Population Models in Marine, Terrestrial and Freshwater Systems (Chapman and Hall, 1997). A former Guggenheim Fellow and a Fellow of AAAS, he has also served as Chairman of the Theoretical Ecology Section of the Ecological Society of America. Dr. Caswell's research interests include mathematical ecology, structured population models, stochastic models for spatial processes, conservation of marine mammals and seabirds, plant population ecology, ecotoxicology, and nonlinear dynamics in ecology.
