Journal ArticleDOI
Animal species diversity driven by habitat heterogeneity/diversity: the importance of keystone structures
Jörg Tews,Ulrich Brose,Volker Grimm,Katja Tielbörger,Matthias C. Wichmann,Monika Schwager,Florian Jeltsch +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that ecological effects of habitat heterogeneity may vary considerably between species groups depending on whether structural attributes are perceived as heterogeneity or fragmentation, and possible effects may also vary relative to the structural variable measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
A standard protocol for describing individual-based and agent-based models
Volker Grimm,Uta Berger,Finn Bastiansen,Sigrunn Eliassen,Vincent Ginot,Jarl Giske,John D. Goss-Custard,Tamara C. Grand,Simone K. Heinz,Geir Huse,Andreas Huth,Jane Uhd Jepsen,Christian Jorgensen,Wolf M. Mooij,Birgit Müller,Guy Pe'er,Cyril Piou,Steven F. Railsback,Andrew M. Robbins,Martha M. Robbins,Eva Rossmanith,Nadja Rüger,Espen Strand,Sami Souissi,Richard A. Stillman,Rune Vabø,Ute Visser,Donald L. DeAngelis +27 more
TL;DR: A proposed standard protocol for describing IBMs and ABMs, developed and tested by 28 modellers who cover a wide range of fields within ecology, and considered as a first step for establishing a more detailed common format of the description of IBm and ABM.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ODD protocol: A review and first update
TL;DR: The definition of ODD is revised to clarify aspects of the original version and thereby facilitate future standardization of ABM descriptions and improves the rigorous formulation of models and helps make the theoretical foundations of large models more visible.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pattern-oriented modeling of agent-based complex systems: lessons from ecology
Volker Grimm,Eloy Revilla,Uta Berger,Florian Jeltsch,Wolf M. Mooij,Steven F. Railsback,Hans-Hermann Thulke,Jacob Weiner,Thorsten Wiegand,Donald L. DeAngelis +9 more
TL;DR: This paper argues that recent advances in ecological modeling have come together in a general strategy that provides a unifying framework for decoding the internal organization of agent-based complex systems and may lead toward unifying algorithmic theories of the relation between adaptive behavior and system complexity.
Book
Individual-based modeling and ecology
Volker Grimm,Steven F. Railsback +1 more
TL;DR: An excellent introduction and overview of this field, written by Volker Grimm and Steven F. Railsback, should be read by everyone interested in individual-based modeling and especially by anyone contemplating developing, or being involved with a group developing, an individualbased model.
