BIOL 535 - Ecological Modeling

Institution:

California State University-San Marcos

Subject:

Description:

An introduction to the use and development of mathematical models for simulating dynamics of ecological systems. Ecological theory will be considered through the development of mathematical models. Models developed for simulating the effects of abiotic and biotic controls on ecological processes include continuous-and discretetime population models, "gap" models, cellular automata, fisheries, and biogeochemical and biogeographical models. Enrollment Requirement: BIOL 210 and 211. Prerequisite for undergraduates and enrollment requirement for graduate students: BIOL 354.
