Dynamic Modeling in Behavioral Ecology by Marc Mangel 9780691085067
RRP: £72.00Booksplease Price: £61.76This book describes a powerful and flexible technique for the modeling of behavior, based on evolutionary principles. The technique employs stochastic dynamic programming and permits the analysis of... -
Fighting The Virus: Disease Modeling And Cyber Security Marc Mangel 9789811287565
RRP: £100.00Booksplease Price: £88.11Many of the words used to describe disease ('infection', 'transmission', 'virus') are also used to characterize cyber security (for example: a computer is infected by a virus that can be transmitted... -
The Theoretical Biologist's Toolbox: Quantitative Methods for Ecology and Evolutionary Biology by Marc Mangel 9780521537483
Booksplease Price: £54.46Mathematical modelling is widely used in ecology and evolutionary biology and it is a topic that many biologists find difficult to grasp. In this new textbook Marc Mangel provides a no-nonsense... -
Resource Management: Proceedings of the Second Ralf Yorque Workshop held in Ashland, Oregon, July 23-25, 1984 by Marc Mangel 9783540159827
Booksplease Price: £46.28These are the proceedings of the Second R. Yorque Workshop on Resource Management which took place in Ashland, Oregon on July 23-25, 1984. The purpose of the workshop is to provide an informal... -
The Ecological Detective: Confronting Models with Data (MPB-28) Ray Hilborn 9780691034973
RRP: £88.00Booksplease Price: £72.43The modern ecologist usually works in both the field and laboratory, uses statistics and computers, and often works with ecological concepts that are model-based, if not model-driven. How do we make... -
Adaptation and Human Behavior: An Anthropological Perspective Napoleon Chagnon 9780202020440
RRP: £49.99Booksplease Price: £46.79This volume presents state-of-the-art empirical studies working in a paradigm that has become known as human behavioral ecology. The emergence of this approach in anthropology was marked by... -
The Ecology and Evolution of Inducible Defenses by Ralph Tollrian
RRP: £95.00Booksplease Price: £78.51Inducible defenses--those often dramatic phenotypic shifts in prey activated by biological agents ranging from predators to pathogens--are widespread in the natural world. Yet research on the... -
Applications of Control Theory in Ecology: Proceedings of the Symposium on Optimal Control Theory held at the State University of New York, Syracuse, New York, August 10-16, 1986 by Yosef Cohen 9783540181040
Booksplease Price: £46.28Control theory can be roughly classified as deterministic or stochastic. Each of these can further be subdivided into game theory and optimal control theory. The central problem of control theory is... -
Evolutionary Games and Population Dynamics by Josef Hofbauer
Booksplease Price: £66.27Every form of behaviour is shaped by trial and error. Such stepwise adaptation can occur through individual learning or through natural selection, the basis of evolution. Since the work of Maynard... -
Spectral Methods in Chemistry and Physics: Applications to Kinetic Theory and Quantum Mechanics by Bernard Shizgal 9789401794534
Booksplease Price: £92.18This book is a pedagogical presentation of the application of spectral and pseudospectral methods to kinetic theory and quantum mechanics. There are additional applications to astrophysics,... -
Longevity: The Biology and Demography of Life Span by James R. Carey
RRP: £82.00Booksplease Price: £74.05Despite our deep interest in mortality, little is known about why some individuals live to middle age and others to extreme old age. Life span, mortality, and aging present some of the most profound... -
Dynamic Models in Biology by Stephen P. Ellner
RRP: £92.00Booksplease Price: £72.73From controlling disease outbreaks to predicting heart attacks, dynamic models are increasingly crucial for understanding biological processes. Many universities are starting undergraduate programs... -

Organism and Environment: Ecological Development, Niche Construction, and Adaptation by Sonia E. Sultan 9780199587063
Booksplease Price: £74.23Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems interacting with their... -
Information Foraging Theory: Adaptive Interaction with Information by Peter L. T. Pirolli 9780195387797
Booksplease Price: £53.67Although much of the hubris and hyperbole surrounding the 1990's Internet has softened to a reasonable level, the inexorable momentum of information growth continues unabated. This wealth of... -
