Abstract

Dynamic models and simulations are now widely used in wildlife and fisheries management, to examine issues ranging from conservation of small gene pools to the impacts of water management in complex wetland systems. There is a trend away from simple population models, toward more realistic calculations that explicitly represent factors such as variation among individual animals and the spatial arrangement of key habitat variables. With increasing demands for varied information, we are also seeing major changes in how modelling is done; model development is now carried out by interdisciplinary, interagency teams of specialists, with enhanced communication and cross-fertilization of ideas. We are also seeing modelling efforts that are much more closely tied to field research, particularly in the design of large-scale field experiments. Major developments in the next decade will likely be in the areas of individual-based modelling, efficient representation of spatial patterns in habitat dynamics, and representation of how hunters and fishermen respond dynamically to management activities.
