Citation:

Jackson, L. J., A S. Trebitz, AND K. L. Cottingham. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PRACTICE OF ECOLOGICAL MODELING. BIOSCIENCE 30(8):694-706.

Description:

No abstract. Modeling has become an important tool in the study of ecological systems, as a scan of the table of contents of any major ecological journal makes abundently clear. The development of a conceptual model can be an integral part of designing and carrying out any research project. Conceptual models are generally written as diagrams with boxes and arrows, thereby providing a compact, visual statement of a research problem that helps determine the questions to ask and the part of the system to study.
