Ecological modelling: The mathematical mirror to animal nature

Mark Buchanan

Nature, 2008, vol. 453, issue 7196, 714-716

Abstract: Animal behaviour is an endless challenge to mathematical modellers. In this, the first of two features, Mark Buchanan looks at how a mathematical principle from physics might be able to explain patterns of movement. In the second, Arran Frood asks what current models can teach us about ecological networks half a billion years old.
