Simulating Ecological and
Evolutionary Systems in C
Many recent advances in theoretical ecology and evolution have
been made by bringing together biological, mathematical, and
computational approaches, yet there are very few books available
that contain this particular mix of information. This book is one of
the first to consider all three approaches in one volume, using the
widely available computer programming language C and
biologically motivated individual-based simulations involving
processes such as competition, foraging, predation, mating systems,
and life-history optimization. All of the important features of C are
covered, providing an excellent resource for those seeking to adopt
a computational approach.
