The Populus software contains a set of simulations that is used to teach population biology and evolutionary ecology at the University of Minnesota.

Simulation models may be chosen from a menu, and students can move among the parameter boxes of an input window, changing initial defaults to values of their own choosing. Most modules offer several graphical outputs of model dynamics, and their computational algorithms are detailed in an Acrobat-based help system packaged with the program.

It is an inexpensive spiral-bound paperback of 144 pages, intended to supplement any of the major Ecology texts with more detail about important Ecological models. It introduces the mathematical models taught in basic ecology courses, including:

  • Density-Independent Growth
  • Lotka-Volterra Competition
  • Density-Dependent Growth
  • Continuous Predators & Prey
  • Demography & Age Structure
  • Infectious Microparasitic Diseases

    The Populus book expands on model derivations and explanations given in texts; it illustrates operation of the Java Populus software with exemplary input windows, output graphs, and the parameter values used to generate them; and it provides 10 to 15 detailed problems and simulation exercises that demonstrate the conceptually important aspects of each model.

    Requirements
  • Java Virtual Machine (JVM)
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE)
