| وصف الكتاب | This book deals with the ecological effect a species can have when it moves into an environment that it has not previously occupied (commonly referred to as an `Invasion'). It is unique in presenting a clear and accessible introduction to a highly complex area - the modelling of biological invasions. The book presents the latest theories and models developed from studies into this crucial area. It includes data and examples from biological case studies showing how the models can be applied to the study of invasions. |
| المراجعة التحريرية | I would certainly recommend this book to anyone interested in the subject. The authors are very clear and, although it is aimed squarely at readers who have a sound grasp of the mathematics of travelling waves and may be interested in applying models of invasions to specific examples, their explanations are clear and succinct. * Calvin Dytham, 1997 British Ecological Society Journal of Animal Ecology, 66 * nowhere else has the theory been made so accessible to nonmathematical biologists, and nowhere else has the theory been so beautifully connected to specific biological examples ...The style of Shigesada and Kawasaki's models and their comparisons to data is elegant in a way that has fallen out of fashion in this age of detailed simulation models and maximum likelihood parameter estimation. This book ... is a masterpiece. It will be easy for theoreticians and modelers to appreciate how extraordinary is this fine book. This theoretical treatise should be read by anyone trying to understand, or control, the range expansion of any invading species. Shigesada and Kawasaki vividly identify the central issues of biological invasion. That is an excellent application of modeling, and an application too often forgotten. * Peter Kareiva, University of Washington, TREE vol. 12, no. 10 October 1997 * Good use is made of diagrams to encourage understanding of the models. * Aslib Book Guide, vol.62, no.7, July 1997 * |
