Description / Table of Contents:
Exploring the relationship between mathematics and ecology, this volume promotes the advancement of ecology as a truly quantitative science, particularly as it touches on the role of space. With contributions from leading experts, it focuses on emerging challenges in the field. These challenges consist of understanding the impact of space on community structure, incorporating the scale and structure of landscapes into mathematical models, and developing connections between spatial ecology and evolutionary theory, epidemiology, and economics. The book shows how various models, such as reaction- diffusion, multivariate state-space, and metapopulation models, are used in ecological applications.
