This book covers the use of mathematical models in ecology, particularly factors that affect herbivory. The aim is to provide models that are motivated by and can be used for evaluation of alternative management scenarios. By incorporating case studies the book is pitched at a level suitable for a wide audience in both mathematical biology and ecology, where the mathematics is illustrative but not highly technical.
