This book presents a comprehensive typology and a comprehensible
description of spatiotemporal models used in population dynamics. The
main types included are: reaction-diffusion systems, patch models,
matapopulation approaches, host parasitoid models, cellular automata
(interacting particle systems), tessellations and distance models. The
models are introduced through examples and with informative verbal
explanations to help understanding. Some of the cellular automation
examples are models not yet published elsewhere. Possible extensions of
certain model types are suggested.
