Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I wrote my Master's thesis on the movement of grasshoppers and almost wore this book out! It became my bible. While I was writing up, you'd always see me with it under my arm. It addresses all of the major movement models from an applied standpoint. The original papers are rarely useful if you wish to actually apply the model to your own research. This book is written more like a text than a review, but is still very thorough mathematically. If you're doing research on movement or are just interested in mathematical models in ecology, this book is a must have.

This work is intended for graduate students and researchers interested in spatial ecology, including applications to conservation, pest control and fisheries. The methodological approaches discussed should be useful to ecologists working with all taxonomic groups, and the mathematics has been kept to an acceptable level for the empirical ecologist. The author has selected case studies from a variety of organisms - plants (seed dispersal, spatial spread of clonal plants), insects and vertebrates (fish, birds and mammals).
