From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Biological study of animal populations

The termpopulation biology has been used with different meanings.

In 1971,Edward O. Wilsonet al. used the term in the sense of applying mathematical models topopulation genetics,community ecology, andpopulation dynamics.^[1]Alan Hastings used the term in 1997 as the title of his book on the mathematics used in population dynamics.^[2] The name was also used for a course given atUC Davis in the late 2010s, which describes it as an interdisciplinary field combining the areas ofecology andevolutionary biology. The course includesmathematics,statistics, ecology,genetics, andsystematics. Numerous types of organisms are studied.^[3]

The journalTheoretical Population Biology is published.
