About this book

   This book is a cohesive guide to the available methods that can be used in
   population viability analysis. It is therefore extremely valuable to both the
   practitioner of conservation biology and the theoretical population biologist.

Reviews

   `...a book written by biologists for biologists...the accounts of the procedures
   are consistently well balanced and clear, with relevant biology.'
   Biodiversity and Conservation
   `[This] book will be found invaluable not only by conservation biologists, but by
   a much wider audience interested in the modeling of real populations. . . . I
   found the chapters on unstructured and age-structured models particularly
   enlightening, as they follow a clear path from theory to techniques to case
   studies. . . . This book is accessible to an unusually broad audience. Required
   is only `some familiarity with statistics, linear algebra and programming, or at
   least a lack of fear of these subjects' (right on!). Yet the biologically
   well-informed discussion of model selection and estimation, and of the limits of
   model interpretation, should make this book at least as useful to theoreticians
   in search of applicability as to empirical workers wishing to learn modeling.
   Plain language and clear examples prevail, yet the tone is never patronizing nor
   the message oversimplified.'
   Trends in Ecology and Evolution
   `...Well written and well organized. It provides a basic framework for those
   interested in population modeling, starting from simple models and gradually
   increasing their complexity; and shows how these models can be used to assess the
   risk of extinction of animal or plant populations... [It is] an excellent
   introduction to the use of mathematical models in conservation biology and risk
   assessment.'
   Natural Resource Modeling
   `...the author's style is clear and engaging....this imporatant book will appeal
   to a far wider audience than its title suggest, and could be profitably read bya
   wide range of ecologists and conservation biologists.'
   The Quarterly Review of Biology
