Stability in Model Populations by Laurence D Mueller
Examines theories of population stability and shows how laboratory research on model populations - particularly blowflies, Tribolium, and Drosophila - contributes to our understanding of population dynamics and the evolution of stability. This book analyzes techniques for inferring whether a given population is in balance or not.-

Laurence D. Mueller is Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of California, Irvine. He has published extensively on stability, life-history evolution, and the evolution of aging. Amitabh Joshi is a Faculty Fellow in the Evolutionary and Organismal Biology Unit of the Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore, India. His current research interests are in life-history evolution, the evolution of ecological specialization, the evolutionary genetics of circadian organization, and small population and metapopulation dynamics.
