You can freely download the program “Populus” from Alstad’s link; it contains models on general biology and others for some of our seminars. Populus has been tested on macOS, Linux, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, and Windows 10 (see details in /download). The program includes a PopulusHelp.pdf file (mostly in English) that was edited as a book in 2001 (EC-505). The book by Piñol & Martínez-Vilalta (EC-650) can also be freely downloaded from the above link; it is a good Ecology book, it is worth having a look at it. In addition, it is another basic reference for seminars; in some of them we will be using the executable models (applets) which can be found in /Aplicaciones. Important: you must have “Java” installed on your computer before you can run either Populus or applets. For most of all these basic references, there may be editions that are more recent and/or in English. |
