Based on what you have learned from this problem set, and your studies in General Ecology to date this semester, what is a benefit of developing models in ecological studies, i.e., why would you argue that ecologists should do this as part of their science? What are some advantages of developing a model? What are problems using models to study nature, and how might one address these problems? Be as creative as you can, and take some time to brainstorm about this question before answering.
