<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Viele Probleme aus der Ökologie, darunter zum Beispiel die Ausbreitung von Schadstoffen, lassen sich modellieren, wenn man auf scheinbar zufällige Prozesse mit einer räumlichen und gegebenenfalls auch einer zeitlichen Dimension zurückgreift. Dieses Buch zeigt Ihnen, wie man räumliche Effekte in der Ökologie und Populationsdynamik mit sogenannten Reaktions-Diffusions-Modellen beschreiben kann. Sie lernen, Modelle aufzubauen und die Resultate zu interpretieren. Die Umsetzung der Theorie in die Praxis wird anhand spezieller Anwendungsbeispiele demonstriert.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Many ecological phenomena involve space as well as time and arise from a combination of random and deterministic processes. Such phenomena include the effects of habitat fragmentation, which is a common result of human activity and a major problem in biological conservation. Reaction-diffusion models provide one approach to describing how random movements and deterministic interactions between individuals combine to influence the dynamics of populations and the structure of ecological communities. Spatial Ecology via Reaction-Diffusion Equations addresses the problem of modeling spatial effects in ecology and population dynamics using reaction-diffusion models.<br> * Provides broad coverage of a rapidly expanding area of research for ecologists and applied mathematicians.<br> * Provides a unified and coherent account of methods developed to study spatial ecology via reaction-diffusion models.<br> * Provides the reader with the tools needed to construct and interpret models.<br> * Includes specific applications of both the models and the methods described. <p/> Spatial Ecology via Reaction-Diffusion Equations provides a practical introduction to the subject for graduate students and researchers working in spatial modeling from mathematics, statistics, ecology, geography and biology.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>...particularly attractive and useful for graduate students and other researchers who are interested in studying applications of reaction-diffusion theory to spatial ecology. (<i>Mathematical Reviews</i>, Issue 2007a) <p>...I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a well supported journey into the modern theory of partial differential equations and dynamic systems...
