{"product_id":"spatio-temporal-models-for-ecologists-hardback","title":"Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists - Hardback","description":"\u003cp\u003eEcological dynamics are tremendously complicated and are studied at a variety of spatial and temporal scales. Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancing rapidly for studying spatio-temporal dynamics. However, spatio-temporal statistics is often presented using a set of principles that may seem very distant from ecological theory or practice. This book seeks to introduce a minimal set of principles and numerical techniques for spatio-temporal statistics that can be used to implement a wide range of real-world ecological analyses regarding animal movement, population dynamics, community composition, causal attribution, and spatial dynamics. We provide a step-by-step illustration of techniques that combine core spatial-analysis packages in R with low-level computation using Template Model Builder. Techniques are showcased using real-world data from varied ecological systems, providing a toolset for hierarchical modelling of spatio-temporal processes. \u003ci\u003eSpatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists\u003c\/i\u003e is meant for graduate level students, alongside applied and academic ecologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFoundational ecological principles and analyses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThoughtful and thorough ecological examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyses conducted using a minimal toolbox and fast computation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCode using R and TMB included in the book and available online\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45584475128046,"sku":"9781032531014","price":137.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/spatio-temporal-models-for-ecologists-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
