  • Dispersal, Individual Movement and Spatial Ecology

    A Mathematical Perspective

    Edited by Mark A. Lewis, Sergei V. Petrovskii, Philip K. Maini ...
    Series series Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    Dispersal of plants and animals is one of the most fascinating subjects in ecology. It has long been recognized as an important factor affecting ecosystem dynamics. Dispersal is apparently a phenomenon of biological origin; however, because of its complexity, it cannot be studied comprehensively by biological methods alone. Deeper insights into dispersal properties and implications require ... Read more

  • Multiscale Modeling of Developmental Systems

    by Gerald P. Schatten, Santiago Schnell, Philip Maini, Stuart A. Newman, Timothy Newman ...
    Series Book 81 - Current Topics in Developmental Biology
    Mathematical and computational biology is playing an increasingly important role in the biological sciences. This science brings forward unique challenges, many of which are, at the moment, beyond the theoretical techniques available. Developmental biology, due to its complexity, has lagged somewhat behind its sister disciplines (such as molecular biology and population biology) in making use of ... Read more

  • From Matter to Life

    Information and Causality

    Edited by Sara Imari Walker, Paul C. W. Davies, George F. R. Ellis ...
    Recent advances suggest that the concept of information might hold the key to unravelling the mystery of life's nature and origin. Fresh insights from a broad and authoritative range of articulate and respected experts focus on the transition from matter to life, and hence reconcile the deep conceptual schism between the way we describe physical and biological systems. A unique cross-disciplinary ... Read more

  • Phase Transitions

    by Ricard Solé ...
    Series series Primers in Complex Systems
    Phase transitions--changes between different states of organization in a complex system--have long helped to explain physics concepts, such as why water freezes into a solid or boils to become a gas. How might phase transitions shed light on important problems in biological and ecological complex systems? Exploring the origins and implications of sudden changes in nature and society, Phase ...

  • Stochastic Foundations in Movement Ecology

    Anomalous Diffusion, Front Propagation and Random Searches

    by Vicenç Méndez, Daniel Campos, Frederic Bartumeus ...
    Series series Physics and Astronomy (R0)
    This book presents the fundamental theory for non-standard diffusion problems in movement ecology. Lévy processes and anomalous diffusion have shown to be both powerful and useful tools for qualitatively and quantitatively describing a wide variety of spatial population ecological phenomena and dynamics, such as invasion fronts and search strategies.Adopting a self-contained, textbook-style ...
