Populus is a software that simulates population biology. It allows users to study population dynamics, genetics, and evolution by creating virtual populations with customizable parameters. Populus is an invaluable tool for researchers and educators alike seeking to understand the complexities of population biology.
Another great feature of the Populus software is the detailed computational algorithms that are included in an Acrobat-based help system. These algorithms offer graphical outputs, helping students better understand how the simulation is working and what the output means.
To use the software, you'll need RE 1.4 or later and a PDF reader. With these requirements met, you'll have access to a helpful and interactive software program that can greatly assist in the teaching of population biology and evolutionary ecology.
