The field of theoretical ecology has expanded dramatically in the past few years, while some of the most interesting work has been done using spatial models with stochasticity. This timely volume brings together the work of leading researchers working with this model and explores its role in the study of ecosystem dynamics. With its mathematically rigorous treatments, applications to real ecological problems, and proposals for extending the use of such modeling techniques in the future, this resource will be of great interest to all researchers in theoretical ecology, mathematical biology,...

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully integrates a rapidly expanding body of theoretical and empirical research. . The first comprehensive treatment of plant dispersal set within a population framework . Examines both the processes and consequence of dispersal . Spans the entire range of research, from natural history and collection of empirical data to modeling and evolutionary theory . Provides a clear and simple explanation of mathematical concepts Dispersal...

The volume contains papers presented at a symposium addressing the question of how the selective nature of harvesting of natural populations might causegenetic changes. Attention is focused on both theory and on data from experiments and real fish populations, with contributions from quantitative genetics, life-history theory, population genetics and fisheries. The volume opens with a review of harvesting induced changes in fish populations by Policansky and is followed by sixteen other papers split into four topics: selection differentials, reaction norms, selection responses and the...
