I'd like to get some general information about the field of mathematical
ecology.  Would someone please share with me what they know about this
field?  Some of the questions I have are:

		What is it? (i.e. a definition, please)
		How does it differ from "traditional" ecology?
		  (I assume it's a relatively young science)
		What are the areas of research to which it pertains?
		What are the tools and methods used?
		Etc.

Any other information you can give will be appreciated.

E-mail is preferred, but you may post if you cannot reach me.

Thanks,

Greg Behm
