These exercises use a spreadsheet program to create biological models, thus providing an introduction to many of the concepts related to ecology, evolution, conservation biology, landscape ecology, and statistics. The aim is to teach the user not only about models, but about the process of modeling as well. Donovan teaches at the University of Vermont. Welden teaches at Southern Oregon University.
