"Математическая экология популяций и экосистем" - книга, которая рассматривает взаимосвязь между популяционной и экосистемной экологией с помощью математических моделей и теории динамических систем. Авторы книги показывают, как бифуркации между решениями моделей могут помочь понять изменения в природных популяциях и экосистемах, когда превышаются пороговые значения показателей, таких как рождаемость, смертность, конкуренция, потребление, поступление питательных веществ и распад. Книга рассчитана на студентов экологии, которые уже изучали курс математического анализа и линейной алгебры, а также на студентов математических специальностей, желающих изучить, как теория динамических систем может быть применена к экологическим проблемам.
Mathematical Ecology: Approaches to Population and Ecosystem Dynamics, Authored by a Group of AuthorsIf the book is new to you, here's a description: Ecologists that study populations examine how births and mortalities affect the dynamic of populations, whereas those that study ecosystems consider how various species control energy/material exchanges through food chains and larger ecosystems. Regardless of whether these processes are occurring concurrently, they have been understood through separate mental lenses that sometimes impede theoretical collaboration between these disciplines.This text contributes to the advancement of ecological thought by introducing readers via dynamic systems approaches to effectively integrate both strands of study. It demonstrates how fluctuations of various phenomena within the realm of model solutions might instruct us on the possible occurrences of regime shifting in both natural populations as well as ecosystems after parameters such as birthrate, deathrate, consumption and competing effects of various actors are evaluated. Students currently engaged in ecologies courses would find this an essential read, as would mathematicians taking interest in how complex systems of dynamical interactions can be examined through such queries.

Population ecologists study how births and deaths affect the dynamics of populations and communities, while ecosystem ecologists study how species control the flux of energy and materials through food webs and ecosystems. Although all these processes occur simultaneously in nature, the mathematical frameworks bridging the two disciplines have developed independently. Consequently, this independent development of theory has impeded the cross-fertilization of population and ecosystem ecology. Using recent developments from dynamical systems theory, this advanced undergraduate/graduate level textbook shows how to bridge the two disciplines seamlessly. The book shows how bifurcations between the solutions of models can help understand regime shifts in natural populations and ecosystems once thresholds in rates of births, deaths, consumption, competition, nutrient inputs, and decay are crossed. Mathematical Ecology is essential reading for students of ecology who have had a first course in calculus and linear algebra or students in mathematics wishing to learn how dynamical systems theory can be applied to ecological problems.
