Description
Summary:Meta-X is a user-friendly computer program that allows students, teachers, and researchers to perform a metapopulation viability analysis i.e. to assess the extinction risk of (meta)populations on discrete, partially isolated patches of habitat, in a comfortable way. The CD comes with an extensive handbook which explains the basic concept of the program and takes you on a guided tour through a model experiment. It further provides the necessary scientific background on both metapopulation dynamics and population viability analysis. A special feature of Meta-X is that it supports comparative analyses of alternative scenarios. This predestines Meta-X to serve as an aid for decision making in conservation management and landscape planning. Furthermore, handbook and software together provide an invaluable help in research and teaching. System Requirements: Windows 95/98, Windows 2000, Windows NT 4.0, or Windows XP, Pentium Processor with a least 133 MHz, 64 MB RAM, 15 MB of free space on hard disk, CD-ROM drive with at least 4x speed, Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher.
