Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists 1st Edition

Spatio-Temporal Models for Ecologists (1st Edition) by James Thorson and Kasper Kristensen offers a compelling, practical guide for scientists who need to understand and apply dynamic spatial models to real-world ecological questions. Whether you work in fisheries, wildlife management, conservation, or academic research, this book delivers clear pathways from theory to practice.

Begin with a concise, engaging overview of why spatio-temporal modeling matters today: changing climates, shifting species distributions, and regional conservation planning require tools that capture both space and time. The authors build momentum with accessible explanations of model structure, statistical inference, and interpretation—illustrated through regional case studies and applied examples that resonate across North America, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Australia.

Readers will appreciate the balance between mathematical rigor and practical guidance: stepwise walkthroughs demystify complex concepts and show how models inform management decisions, population assessments, and habitat forecasting. The book emphasizes robust model checking, uncertainty quantification, and communication of results to stakeholders and policymakers.

Ideal for graduate students, researchers, resource managers, and ecological consultants, this edition equips you to design, evaluate, and communicate spatio-temporal analyses that drive better conservation outcomes. If you need a definitive, regionally relevant resource that bridges statistics and ecology, this volume is a must-have for your professional library.
