• Copyright page contains several errors (pages missing etc.). Most importantly, there is no mention of the cover art. The striking photos were taken by Colin Bates, whose artwork can be seen at http://www.coastalimageworks.com.
• P. 13: Figure 1.7, the top line should say "...with HIV (= prevalence, P_a,1998)"
• P. 38: "In contrast, the recursion equation (2.1) also has n(t) on the right-hand side" should say "In contrast, the recursion equation (2.3a) also has n(t) on the right-hand side"
• P. 53: "naked mole rate colony" should read "naked mole rat colony"
• P. 59, line 2: "there would be 8x3i" -> "there would be 8x3ⁱ"
• P. 71: "alpha" above (3.13b) should be "a"
• P. 148: Parts of question 4.11 should be corrected as:
  (b) Determine the two null clines along which the number of infected individuals, I, would remain constant.
  (c) Add curves for all three of these null clines to the figure, ...
  (d) Add two dots to the figure where both variables remain constant (the two possible equilibria).
  
• P. 164: Recipe P1.4 should read Recipe P1.1.
• P. 169: The negative sign should be positive in Step 3 (Case B) of Recipe 5.3:

  

• P. 179: "Use Rules A2.6 and A2.11 to take the derivative of (5.25)" should read "Use Rules A2.6 and A2.12 to take the derivative of (5.25)"
• P. 185: The equations in problem (5.1) should all have an n(t) added to the right-hand side and should read n(t+1) = n(t) + λ n(t)...
• P. 196: Above equation (6.6b), the p(t) = (d(t)-1)/2 should be p(t) = (d(t)+1)/2 (error made twice in the text).
• P. 211, top line: n(0) = 1 should read n = 1
• P. 258: In the legend to Figure 7.1.1, the second to last sentence should read "One eigenvector has an associated eigenvalue that is negative (implying exponential decay toward the origin, and one eigenvector has an associated eigenvalue that is positive (implying exponential growth away from the origin) (solid lines)."
• P. 275: "the genetic covariance between mail tail length" should read "the genetic covariance between male tail length"
• P. 277: "on both male tail length sexual and" should read "on both male tail length and"
• P. 290, Problem 7.1: Assume that all anemones remain alive and that no new ones are born over the time scale of the model.
• P. 290, Problem 7.2: "Furthermore, suppose that ... p_j." should read "Furthermore, suppose that juveniles survive one time step to become adults with probability p_j and that they die with probability 1-p_j."
• P. 290, Problem 7.3: Hint: Consider Rule P2.25.
• P. 291, Problem 7.5: The second differential equation (for dp/dt) should not have a ^ over the Gp term. Hint: Consider Rule P2.25.
• P. 301: Five lines up from the bottom should say "the matrix equation (8.10)" not "matrix (8.10b)"
• P. 304: Horizontal axis on graph (b) should say y
• P. 305, eqn 8.15b: Subscript on second epsilon should be I
• P. 305, eqn 8.16a: The last partial derivative should be taken with respect to the function f, not the function g.
• P. 317, eqn 8.34a: Second '=' should be '+' and a partial derivative symbol (∂) is missing in front of the x₂ in the denominator.
• P. 336, eqn 8.50: The denominator should read r + h s - r h s not r + s - r h s.
• P. 360: "equations (9.6.8)" in the legend to Figure 9.3.1 should say should say "equations (9.3.8)".
• P. 374: "...the equilibrium population size would be zero according to (9.39); to obtain a nonzero population size,..." should say "...the population size would also remain constant if we ignored terms of order epsilon in (9.39); to predict how the population size changes, ..."
• P. 376: Figure 8.8 should say Figure 8.7.
• P. 398: The dotted line is missing; it lies just below the short-dashed curve (see corrected version).
• P. 401: At the bottom of the page, (10.14) should read (10.13).
• P. 401: "if all that we want is to know is the effect of" should read "if all that we want to know is the effect of"
• P. 411: The numbers in Table 10.1 are wrong. The corrected entries are:

  

  In the text, "Even so, increasing p₃ by 1% is expected to lead to only a 0.31% increase in the growth rate of the population." should say "Even so, increasing p₃ by 1% is expected to lead to only a 0.026% increase in the growth rate of the population."

• P. 449: Murrary should say Murray.
• P. 550: In Figure P3.14, the curves are labeled incorrectly, with s² = 0.25 and s² = 4 being reversed. The more bell-shaped curve should say s² = 0.25.
• P. 558: The mean and variance of the log-normal distribution are incorrectly reported in Table P3.3. The correct formulae are given by equations (P3.31) and (P3.32) on p. 551.
• P. 573: The second to last line should read "we would draw a random number from an exponential distribution with parameter" (not with mean)
• P. 634: The first equation (14.53) should be (14.52).
• P. 679: Dots are missing from Figure 15.5 (see corrected version).
• P. 681: Dots are missing from Figure 15.6 (see corrected version).
• P. 682: Dots are missing from Figure 15.7 (see corrected version).
• P. 683: Dots are missing from Figure 15.8 (see corrected version).
• P. 684: Dots are missing from Figure 15.9 (see corrected version).
• P. 704: The sixth line from the bottom should read "that g'(a) is not zero" rather than "that g(a) is not zero".
