MODELLING POPULATION DYNAMICS - K B NEWMAN S T ...

This book gives a unifying framework for estimating the abundance of open populations:
populations subject to births  deaths and movement  given imperfect measurements or samples of
the populations. The focus is primarily on populations of vertebrates for which dynamics are
typically modelled within the framework of an annual cycle  and for which stochastic
variability in the demographic processes is usually modest. Discrete-time models are developed
in which animals can be assigned to discrete states such as age class  gender  maturity 
population (within a metapopulation)  or species (for multi-species models).The book goes well
beyond estimation of abundance  allowing inference on underlying population processes such as
birth or recruitment  survival and movement. This requires the formulation and fitting of
population dynamics models. The resulting fitted models yield both estimates of abundance and
estimates of parameters characterizing the underlying processes.
