Mathematics of Ecological Complexity
|
|
School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham, 1 September 2016
|
|
|
|
Models of spatiotemporal complexity in population, communities and ecosystems will be discussed. Topics include (but not limited to) challenges in modelling animal movement (both individual and collective), biological invasions, and relevant scenarios of ecological pattern formation.
