Exploring roles critical to environmental toxicology, Modeling and
Simulation in Ecotoxicology with Applications in MATLAB (R) and
Simulink (R) covers the steps in modeling and simulation from
problem conception to validation and simulation analysis. Using the
MATLAB and Simulink programming languages, the book presents
examples of mathematical functions and simulations, with special
emphasis on how to develop mathematical models and run computer
simulations of ecotoxicological processes. Designed for students
and professionals with little or no experience in modeling, the
book includes: General principles of modeling and simulation and an
introduction to MATLAB and Simulink Stochastic modeling where
variability and uncertainty are acknowledged by making parameters
random variables Toxicological processes from the level of the
individual organism, with worked examples of process models in
either MATLAB or Simulink Toxicological processes at the level of
populations, communities, and ecosystems Parameter estimation using
least squares regression methods The design of simulation
experiments similar to the experimental design applied to
laboratory or field experiments Methods of postsimulation analysis,
including stability analysis and sensitivity analysis Different
levels of model validation and how they are related to the modeling
purpose The book also provides three individual case studies. The
first involves a model developed to assess the relative risk of
mortality following exposure to insecticides in different avian
species. The second explores the role of diving behavior on the
inhalation and distribution of oil spill naphthalene in bottlenose
dolphins. The final case study looks at the dynamics of mercury in
Daphnia that are exposed to simulated thermal plumes from a
hypothetical power plant cooling system. Presented in a rigorous
yet accessible style, the methodology is versatile enough to be
readily applicable not only to environmental toxicology but a range
of other biological fields.
