Zentralblatt MATH [T]his book is fun...useful and interesting... Northeastern Naturalist Mark Kot has written a superb introduction to many aspects of population ecology, covering spatially structured, age-structured, and sex-structured models... The treatment is interesting, and represents a genuine stimulus to keep going, even for an ecologist! Yet, the real excitement is invariably in the mathematics... Kot's new book represents an exemplary introduction to the mathematics behind population biology. Robert van Hulst, Ecoscience I cannot emphasize this enough, Kot's explanations are outstandingly clear. He presents, step by step, the calculations that are required to analyze the models that underlie population ecology. This is a valuable book. Ecology is becoming more quantitative and more dynamic, not less, and Kot's book fills the need for a rigorous, graduate-level textbook in mathematical population ecology, and does it very well. The Quarterly Review of Biology Elements of Mathematical Ecology is a thorough and imminently readable technical introduction to the discipline, and is highly recommended. Acta Biotheoretica Kot offers a solid introduction to applied mathematical ecology, especially as it relates to population ecology.... Unusual for such a work, this one is written clearly and much of the writing is accessible even to those without a strong math background.... [S]tudents and researchers in population, applied population, and mathematical ecology will find this book highly useful. Choice
