Benjamin Bolker

Benjamin Bolker Person1 #679758 I’m a professor in the departments of Mathematics & Statistics and of Biology at McMaster University, and currently Director of the School of Computational Science and Engineering and Acting Associate Chair (Graduate) for Mathematics.
My interests range widely in spatial, theoretical, mathematical, computational and statistical ecology, evolution and epidemiology; plant community, ecosystem, and epidemic dynamics; and whatever else takes my fancy. I run the mac-theobio research group jointly with Jonathan Dushoff and David Earn. Tags: Ben Bolker

Excerpt / Summary

The book is based on a class I taught several times at the University of Florida, covering the nitty-gritty of constructing and fitting simple (statistical) ecological models to real data sets. Here is the material for the labs I used in that class; more lab material can be found on the wiki, and I will be likely to update more of it there. (This material is slightly out of date; if you're teaching a course based on the book or otherwise interested, please bug me for updated versions!)

More up-to-date information for the book lives on the book wiki/:

…this has errata and added notes for each chapter, among other stuff. If you have suggestions for improvements in the R code, or you think you've found an error, please check the wiki and/or contact me (e-mail to bolker "at" mcmaster.ca).

Excerpt / Summary

Infectious disease is a moving target: new diseases emerge every year, old diseases evolve into new forms, and ecological and socioeconomic upheavals change the transmission pathways by which diseases spread. By taking an approach focused on the general evolutionary and ecological dynamics of disease, Infectious Disease: A Very Short Introduction considers where particular diseases come from, how they are transmitted from one person to another, why some individuals are more susceptible than others, and what strategies can be used to combat these diseases. It explains the general principles of infection, the management of outbreaks, and the evolutionary and ecological approaches that are now central to much research about infectious disease.
