The development of individual-based computer simulation models of populations and communities provides a means for including large amounts of behavioral information in population and community models, something that traditional models can not do. Individual-based models earl project the affects of organism behavior to the community level. The advantages of this approach have been exploited in many problems; competition for an occupation of space, transmission of diseases or disturbances across populations, movement and feeding patterns and their effects at the population level, and heterogeneous demographic characteristics. Examples of these model types are described. The role of individual-based modeling both in the scientific study of the population-level consequences of behavior and in addressing applied ecological problems is discussed.
