Hi,
I think this recent issue of the journal Interface
(http://rsfs.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/2/2.toc) can provide
nice examples. I'd particularly recommend the introductory and
concluding articles:
Codling, E. a. & Dumbrell, a. J. (2012) Mathematical and theoretical
ecology: linking models with ecological processes. /Interface Focus/,
*2*, 144--149.
Petrovskii, S. & Petrovskaya, N. (2012) Computational ecology as an
emerging science. /Interface Focus/, *2*, 241--254.
Cheers,
Paco

Dear Group,
We have had a good question from Mark Emerson, please feel free to
reply either publically or privately. I will reply myself soon:
Hello all,
I was hoping that I might be able to join this email group. I am
currently teaching an upper-division course in 'practical computing
for biologists' and am looking for good examples of how computation is
applied in ecology. I am, by training, an evolutionary geneticist
using next-gen sequencing and have a great deal of literature for the
students in this field, but I would like to diversify the papers that
they read - showing that computation can facilitate research in any
subdiscipline of biology.
I am looking for recommendations for undergraduate-accessible papers
that really show how computation can be used to address fundamental
questions in ecology. In particular, papers that focus on the biology
and not the computational aspects, are best - I want them to survey
the biology, not the computational approaches.
Thank you very much for any suggestions.
Warmest,
Kevin Emerson
