Sobre IBD

This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to paleoecology. It strives to provide a fair idea about this discipline and to help develop a better understanding of the latest advances within this field. Paleoecology refers to the study of fossils, sub-fossils, fossil organisms and their remains to examine the past ecosystem. The main aim of paleoecology is to understand the life cycle, environmental conditions, living interactions and deaths of organisms, in order to reconstruct natural environment. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of this field. For all readers who are interested in this subject, the case studies included in this text will serve as an excellent guide to develop a comprehensive understanding. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and post graduate students.

  • Modeling Populations of Adaptive Individuals
    Bret C. Harvey / Steven F. Railsback
    Ecologists now recognize that the dynamics of populations, communities, and ecosystems are strongly affected by adaptive individual behaviors. Yet until now, we have lacked effective and flexible methods for modeling such dynamics. Traditional ecological models become impractical with the inclusion of behavior, and the optimization approaches of behavioral ecology cannot be use...
