Stochastic Population Dynamics in Ecology and Conservation

Random fluctuations in population dynamics are fundamentally important in pure and applied ecology. This text introduces demographic and environmental stochasticity and illustrates statistical methods for estimating them from field data.

"Our conservation effectiveness depends on our ability to understand biodiversity peril and biodiveristy persistence in the face of random environmental shocks. Lande, Engen and Saether have produced THE seminal theoretical contribution to conservation biology -- a brilliant exploration of stochastic influences on extinction and biodiversity. This is not a sterile theoretical treatise; it is a well-written and a certain-to-be-classic melding of theory and real-world examples."Peter Kareiva, Lead Scientist, The Nature Conservancy, USA
