META workshop

Mathematics Behind Complex Ecological Patterns

School of Mathematics, University of Birmingham, 13 December 2017

Various models of spatio-temporal population dynamics will be discussed where special attention will be paid to dispersal and spatial patterns of population. Topics include (but not limited to) mechanisms of ecological pattern formation, pattern detection and recognition, and control of spatial spread of invasive species.
