500			_aWhether Discussing Habitat Placement for the northern spotted owl or black tailed prairie dog or strategies for controlling exotic pests, this book explains how real world problems can be solved by capturing ecological relationships across a landscape with pragmatic optimization models. Hof and Bevers use linear programming technologies widely available today that make it possible to include many thousands of choice variables and many thousands of constraints and still be confident of being able to solve the problem at hand. The book is organized into four parts: “Simple Proximity Relationships,” “Reaction Diffusion Models,” “Control Models,” and “Using Optimization to Develop Hypotheses About Ecosystems.”
