Re: Refs to comparisons of ABM and equation based models?

Rick et al.,
     Another good recent ref on this is:
Fahse, L., C. Wissel and V. Grimm. 1998. Reconciling classical and 
individual-based approaches in theoretical population ecology: a protocol 
for extracting population parameters from individual-based models. 
American Naturalist 152:838-852.

Note that this topic is of great interest to a number of groups now, 
and Volker Grimm's group is one of them. His email is

Another person who has several manuscripts in this area with a focus
on forest models (I'm not sure if they are published yet) is Alain 
Franc (address@hidden).
