Integrating ecological insight derived from individual-based simulations and physiologically structured population models

•We compare IBM and physiologically structured population models (PSPM).•In both approaches, population dynamics “emerge” from properties of individuals.•IBMs are easier to formulate and to explain to non-specialists than PSPMs.•PSPMs allow for more extensive mapping of qualitative dynamics.•Ecologi...
