Review
Reviews from the hardback: ...an exciting journey through Dr Royama's wide experience ... - Bulletin of Mathematical Biology; ...of interest to a wide range of applied and theoretical biologists. - Ethology, Ecology and Evolution; ... Part I is interesting and highly readable. I have no reservations about Part II of Royama's book. In it, he presents a marvelous review of four classic studies of population dynamics: the Canadian lynx, the snowshoe hare, Utida's experiments on the azuki bean weevil (including, in a separate chapter, the interaction with the braconid wasp), and the spruce budworm. Royama reveals himself to be practical and generaly non-dogmatic in his approach to modelling. As in Part I, his writing is lively. Overall, I recommend this book - particularly Part II - to anyone interested in modelling the dynamics of biological populations with the following proviso - Ecology
Synopsis
Integrating the approaches of the practical and theoretical ecologist, this work aims to establish a methodology of the analysis of biological populations. In an attempt to modernize the study of the dynamics of natural populations, it concentrates on the practical use of simulation and of population dynamic models, particularly the tool of stochastic difference equations. It covers a range of biological examples, including great tits, titmics, Canada lynx, spruce budworm and laboratory populations.
