Inhaltsangabe

This book addresses one of the major "inverse" problems in population ecology - that of inferring mortality rates from time series of population numbers for a set of age classes or developmental stages. The authors set out to provide a useful method for field ecologists, and a framework from which to approach such problems in future. After a survey of previously published methods, an analysis is given of some basic instabilities that arise in the process of mortality estimation from stage structured population data. A concise introduction to spline theory, and the derivation of some new results enables these instabilities to be overcome in a biologically sensible way. The resulting methods are then tested on simulated data, and their performance compared with that of previous methods. Finally a real system with three zooplankton species is investigated using the new methods.
