The properties of recommended methods and their range of application are illustrated by applying the sensitivity analysis techniques to two test cases. The first one is a classic Lotka-Volterra model, while the second one is a study on a fish population dynamics. Both quantitative and qualitative approaches are applied and the differences between local and global techniques are highlighted by using the test cases. }, title = {The Role of Sensitivity Analysis in Ecological Modelling}, type = {}, url = {}, volume = {203}, number = {}, journal = {ECOLOGICAL MODELLING}, pages = {167-182}, issn = {}, publisher = {ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV}, doi = {} }
