Reviews
"The authors have made very circumspect model verifications...The greatest merit of the book is that it confirms experimentally the existence
of numerous nonlinear phenomena in populations and presents a new characteristic of populations, that is, the lattice effect. The book
is written in an excellent style with high mathematical precision. This work is warmly recommended to all theoretical and field ecologists,
and all scientists interested in nonlinear dynamics."
-COMMUNITY ECOLOGY (2005)
"...rich in statistical concepts and methods. Anyone
interested in the dynamics of populations will benefit from reading this book."
-ECOLOGY (2003)
"In a very real sense, Cushing et al.
have done for ecology what Newton did for physics. They have demonstrated that the observed, very complex behavior of biological populations
can, at least in principle, be derived and predicted from a knowledge of the operant biological mechanisms expressed in simple mathematical
models. ...Chaos in Ecology is a road-map for making ecology into a genuinely predictive science."
-Aaron A. King, University
of Tennessee (2002)
"This is the definitive source on chaos in ecology. Well-written and authoritative."
-Simon Levin, Princeton University
(2002)
"Chaos in Ecology ought to be read by both field and theoretical ecologists."
