Dynamic Ecology in GNU Octave

Abstract

Ekin Akoglu is a marine biologist and has expertise in ecological modelling with emphasis on trophodynamic and end-to-end ecosystem models. He carries out research on the effects of climate change, trophic competition and fisheries on fish stocks and marine ecosystems. He is currently employed as an assistant professor in the Institute of Marine Sciences at Middle East Technical University, Turkey. Kevin J Flynn is a plankton physiologist who has combined laboratory and modelling studies in his teaching and research work over 4 decades. He has a particular interest in developing simulation models to guide experiment design and to enthuse the next generation of marine scientists in plankton dynamics and ecophysiology. He has authored, or co-authored, over 175 papers, and also authored the book Dynamic Ecology upon which this work was developed. He currently works at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory, UK
