Modern population ecology began during the period 1860 to the 1920s, along with early formal development of animal ecology (Kingsland 1985:9–112, Price 2003:9–13, Egerton 2014a). Population ecology advanced on three fronts, sometimes linked: field studies, laboratory studies, and mathematical– theoretical studies (Cole 1954:106, 1958:6). It seems desirable to briefly treat here two special cases: invasive species and rare and extinct species, with bibliographic guides at these topics.
