This book presents comprehensive treatment of a rapidly developing area with many
potential applications: the theory of monotone dynamical systems and the theory of …

The chemostat is a basic piece of laboratory apparatus, yet it has begun to occupy an
increasingly central role in ecological studies. The ecological environment created by a …

Recent data on biological invasion show that range expansion is driven by various modes of
dispersal such as neighborhood diffusion and long-distance dispersal that occur side by …

This paper develops mathematical and statistical techniques for measuring the resilience of
inherently stochastic ecological systems. To correspond to the deterministic idea of …

Population regulation is one of the central organizing themes in ecology (Dennis and Taper,
1994, Murdoch, 1994). Yet, ever since the concept of population regulation by density …

When subject to long—term directional environmental perturbations, changes in population
densities depend on the positive and negative feedbacks operating through interactions …

Analytically tractable metapopulation models usually assume that every patch is identical,
which limits their application to real metapopulations. We describe a new single species …

Purpose: At present, the linear-quadratic model for cellular response to radiation can
incorporate sublethal damage repair and repopulation. We suggest an extension, termed …

Simple models representing nutrient-dependent growth of plant prey are used to study
herbivores and edible and" inedible" plants. Three types of inedible plants are considered …

1. The food chain of the Southern Ocean has often been characterized as simple and
homogeneous. However, the population processes of a key prey organism, krill Euphausia …
