Agent-based models (ABMs) are increasingly recognized as valuable tools in modelling
human-environmental systems, but challenges and critics remain. One pressing challenge …

Flower‐visiting insects (FVIs) are an ecologically diverse group of mobile, flying species that
should be protected from pesticide effects according to European policy. However, there is …

Individual-based models are an exciting and widely used new tool for ecology. These
computational models allow scientists to explore the mechanisms through which population …

Although the spatial dimension of ecosystem dynamics is now widely recognized, the
specific mechanisms behind species patterning in space are still poorly understood and the …

Substantial efforts have been devoted to developing and applying biomarkers for use in
ecotoxicology. These efforts have resulted partly from a desire for early warning indicators …

Landscape ecology has emphasized the key role of spatial heterogeneity as a driver of
ecological processes, which has led to a shift from a patch-matrix to a landscape mosaic …

This advanced textbook is the first to explore the consequences of plant dispersal for
population and community dynamics, spatial patterns, and evolution. It successfully …

The use of spatially explicit models (SEMs) in ecology has grown enormously in the past two
decades. One major advancement has been that fine-scale details of landscapes, and of …

Common voles (Microtus arvalis) are common small mammals in some European
landscapes. They can be a major rodent pest in European agriculture and they are also a …

Agent‐based models (ABM s) are widely used to predict how populations respond to
changing environments. As the availability of food varies in space and time, individuals …
