About the Book

Being able to understand and predict the ecological consequences of environmental change and of different management strategies is a critical part of conservation science. That makes quantitative ecological models an indispensable part of conservation science, an indispensable tool to make sense of the ecological data underlying conservation. Yet, there is still a wide gap between 'applied' conservation biologists and theoretical modellers.

This book will help to narrow this gap by functioning as a tutorial to understand and model some important ecological fundamentals. In particular, it will focus on the stochastic processes that govern the dynamics of small populations. Using this book, you will learn how to model simple ecological dynamics and to program your models with R, a software package that is becoming the standard in academic research.
