    2016-Rob_deBoer-Population Dynamics  A Graphical Approach
    This book is an introduction into modeling population dynamics in ecology. Because there are several good textbooks on this subject, the book needs a novel ecological niche to justify its existence.

    1-114-EarthClimate-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario, we investigate the Earth's climate using a zero-dimensional energy balance model. Energy balance models are climate models that try to predict the average surface temperature of the Earth.

    6-022-CannibalismPredatorPrey-ModelingScenario
    The Lotka-Volterra model tells us that the prey and predator exhibit a shifted cyclic behavior over time. In this module, we look at modifying this prey-predator model to consider the case when there is cannibalism in the predator species.

    1-137-SheepGraze-ModelingScenario
    In this activity, students will apply graphical analysis (such as phase lines) to determine the long-term predictions of a differential equation model for pasture grass using two different formulas for the herbivore consumption rate.

    1-139-PlantsVsHerbivores-ModeliongScenario
    In this activity, students will apply a variety of techniques for analyzing nonlinear systems (e.g., nullclines, linearization, and technologies for drawing phase portraits) to study plant-herbivore models.

    5-015-RunnersSynchronize-ModelingScenario
    In this modeling scenario we practice finding and classifying equilibria of a one-variable differential equation. We do this in the context of a phase model which is often a simpler way of studying oscillatory phenomena.

    6-011-HumansVsZombies-ModelingScenario
    Students analyze the SIR differential equations model in the context of a zombie invasion of a human population. Students analyze a two equation system representing only two populations, humans and zombies and then recovered zombies.
