商品簡介
This book investigates the mathematical analysis of biological invasions. Unlike purely qualitative treatments of ecology, it draws on mathematical theory and methods, equipping the reader with sharp tools and rigorous methodology. Subjects include invasion dynamics, species interactions, population spread, long-distance dispersal, stochastic effects, risk analysis, and optimal responses to invaders. While based on the theory of dynamical systems, including partial differential equations and integrodifference equations, the book also draws on information theory, machine learning, Monte Carlo methods, optimal control, statistics, and stochastic processes. Applications to real biological invasions are included throughout. Ultimately, the book imparts a powerful principle: that by bringing ecology and mathematics together, researchers can uncover new understanding of, and effective response strategies to, biological invasions. It is suitable for graduate students and established researchers in mathematical ecology.
作者簡介
Mark Lewis has worked for over 25 years on developing and applying mathematical methods to the dynamics of biological invasions. His research focuses on population spread, Allee effects, ecological dynamics, control, and risk analysis. His research also includes building connections with real biological processes and data. He is Chief Editor of the Journal of Mathematical Biology and is on seven other editorial boards. He is a Fellow of the Fields Institute and has won a number of prizes for his research in applied mathematics. His current position is Senior Canada Research Chair in Mathematical Biology at the University of Alberta, and he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada.
Jonathan Potts obtained his PhD from the University of Bristol, working at the Bristol Centre for Complexity Sciences on the emergence of territorial patterns in fox populations. He then went to the University of Alberta as a postdoctoral fellow, where he continued working on mathematical models of animal movement and pattern formation, extending them to a variety of situations beyond territoriality, including landscape ecology and biological invasions. He is now a lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of Sheffield, UK
