Range dynamics causes mismatches between a species' geographical distribution and the
set of suitable environments in which population growth is positive (the Hutchinsonian …

Regression dilution is a statistical inference bias that causes underestimation of the strength
of dependency between two variables when the predictors are error‐prone proxies (EPPs) …

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How
and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns …

Ecological Models and Data in R is the first truly practical introduction to modern statistical
methods for ecology. In step-by-step detail, the book teaches ecology graduate students and …

Stochasticity is a core component of ecology, as it underlies key processes that structure and
create variability in nature. Despite its fundamental importance in ecological systems, the …

Ecological drift causes species abundances to fluctuate randomly, lowering diversity within
communities and increasing differences among otherwise equivalent communities. Despite …

I became engaged in meso-scale research in 1984 when beginning a Ph. D. degree
supervised by Prof. Mooson Kwauk, who believed that the phenomenon of particle …

Adaptive dynamics is a mathematical framework for studying evolution. It extends
evolutionary game theory to account for more realistic ecological dynamics and it can …

Mathematical biology is in the moment a prosperous and exciting field. New experimental
methods require more and refined models. While experimental data of traditional …

Population control through harvest has the potential to reduce the abundance of nuisance
and invasive species. However, demographic structure and density‐dependent processes …
