Spatial Ecology Via Reaction-Diffusion Equations Hardcover

Robert Stephen Cantrell

Many ecological phenomena may be modelled using apparently random processes involving space (and possibly time). Such phenomena are classified as spatial in their nature and include all aspects of pollution. This book addresses the problem of modelling spatial effects in ecology and population dynamics using reaction-diffusion models. Rapidly expanding area of research for biologists and applied mathematicians Provides a unified and coherent account of methods developed to study spatial ecology via reaction-diffusion models Provides the reader with the tools needed to construct and interpret models Offers specific applications of both the models and the methods Authors have played a dominant role in the field for years Essential reading for graduate students and researchers working with spatial modelling from mathematics, statistics, ecology, geography and biology.

...particularly attractive and useful for graduate students and other researchers who are interested in studying applications of reaction-diffusion theory to spatial ecology. (Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2007a) "...I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a well supported journey into the modern theory of partial differential equations and dynamic systems..."
