New advances in ecological modelling

Ecosystems are highly intricate networks of interrelationships between organisms and their environment. With the help of increasingly sophisticated computers and statistical approaches, mathematical models can be developed that allow scientists to more readily conceptualise, quantify and predict a variety of complex ecological processes. Models can be used to explore purely analytical theories, or to simulate highly dynamic real scenarios. This Collection will focus on the latest methodological advances in the field of ecological modelling and their contribution to our understanding of how ecosystems behave in an ever changing world.
