DESCRIPTION:The natural world presents us with complexity and diversity ac
 ross an enormous range of scales. Complicated simulation models can do the
  same thing... but how reliable is the link between theory and reality?\nI
  hope to find some answers to this question using transparent mathematical
  models and a range of terrestrial and marine datasets\, arguing that simp
 licity can sometimes offer more compelling\, and more useful\, explanation
