Ecologists often simplify analysis by describing changes in density of individuals across a landscape, and statistical methods are advancing rapidly for studying spatio-temporal dynamics. However, spatio-temporal statistics is often presented using a set of principles that may seem very distant from ecological theory or practice. This book seeks to introduce a minimal set of principles and numerical techniques for spatio-temporal statistics that can be used to implement a wide range of real-world ecological analyses regarding animal movement, population dynamics, community composition, causal attribution, and spatial dynamics. We provide a step-by-step illustration of techniques that combine core spatial-analysis packages in R with low-level computation using Template Model Builder. Techniques are showcased using real-world data from varied ecological systems, providing a toolset for hierarchical modelling of spatio-temporal processes. \u003ci\u003eSpatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists\u003c\/i\u003e is meant for graduate level students, alongside applied and academic ecologists.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eFoundational ecological principles and analyses\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThoughtful and thorough ecological examples\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAnalyses conducted using a minimal toolbox and fast computation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCode using R and TMB included in the book and available online\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Thorson, Kasper Kristensen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032531010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032531014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"James Thorson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44890733347071,"sku":"9781032531014","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a66de998-1e8b-4a07-9525-d7151e5fe863.jpg?v=1709739871","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/spatio-temporal-models-for-ecologists-james-thorson-9781032531014","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
