Diffusion and Ecological Problems Modern Perspectives

This book surveys a wide variety of mathematical models of diffusion in the ecological context. It is written with the primary intent of providing scientists, particularly physicists but also biologists, with some background in the mathematics and physics of diffusion, and shows how they can be applied to ecological problems. The secondary intent is to provide a specialized textbook for graduate students who are interested in mathematical ecology. The reader is assumed to have a basic knowledge of probability and differential equations. Each chapter in this new edition has been substantially updated by appropriate leading researchers in the field, and contains much new material covering developments in the field in the last 20 years.Okubo, Akira is the author of 'Diffusion and Ecological Problems Modern Perspectives', published 2002 under ISBN 9780387986760 and ISBN 0387986766.
