Integrating the approaches of the practical and theoretical ecologist, this work aims to establish a methodology of the analysis of biological populations. It concentrates on the practical use of simulation and of population dynamic models.

A knowledge of animal population dynamics is essential for the proper management of natural resources and the environment. This book, now available in paperback, develops basic concepts and a rigorous methodology for the analysis of animal population dynamics to identify the underlying mechanisms.

Part I: Theoretical bases of population dynamics. Basic properties and structure of population processes. Structures and patterns of population processes. Statistical analysis of population fluctuations. Population process models. Part II: Analysis of classic cases. Analysis of lynx 10-year cycle. Snowshoe hare demography. Density effects on the dynamics of a single-species population: Utida's classic experiments on the azuki bean weevil. Dynamics of a host-parasitoid interaction system: Utida's experimental study. Dynamics of the spruce budworm outbreak processes. Epilogue. Bibliography. Index.
