Ballroom D, Ballroom Level, Cook Convention Center
Organized by: EE Holmes (eli.holmes@noaa.gov), C Jordan, and B Dennis

This session features contemporary research on stochastic ecological dynamics and estimation that is fundamentally changing the way we think about and make inferences about ecological processes.
