One driver for the development of new modelling approaches has been the recognition that in observational studies of ecology and evolutionary biology, the process of interest is seldom observed directly, and thus inference relies on data that are indirect and inCluenced | + | In recent years, the dichotomy between the forward (“mathematical ecology”) and inverse (“statistical ecology”) approaches has started to diminish, partly thanks to methods (e.g. Bayesian statespace models) that enable the merging of these two approaches, and partly thanks to the appreciation of a deeper integration between ecological theory and data.
