Landscape structure and pop dynamics

This week I propose a heavyweight paper: a spatially-explicit individual-based population dynamics model. Too bad? I think that this paper has some interesting perspectives about present trends in population dynamics modeling. It also serves to illustrate how these models are getting more and more complex, but on the same time more and more close to natural systems.

Paper:
Wiegand, T., Moloney, K.A., Naves, J., and Knauer, F. 1999. Finding the missing link between landscape structure and population dynamics: a spatially explicit perspective. The American Naturalist 145, 606-627.

Hope you like it :o)
