Many ecological phenomena may be modelled using apparently randomprocesses involving space (and possibly time). Such phenomena areclassified as spatial in their nature and include all aspects ofpollution. This book addresses the problem of modelling spatialeffects in ecology and population dynamics using reaction-diffusionmodels.
* Rapidly expanding area of research for biologists and appliedmathematicians
* Provides a unified and coherent account of methods developed tostudy spatial ecology via reaction-diffusion models
* Provides the reader with the tools needed to construct andinterpret models
* Offers specific applications of both the models and themethods
* Authors have played a dominant role in the field for years
Essential reading for graduate students and researchers workingwith spatial modelling from mathematics, statistics, ecology,geography and biology.

"...particularly attractive and useful for graduate studentsand other researchers who are interested in studying applicationsof reaction-diffusion theory to spatial ecology." (MathematicalReviews, Issue 2007a)
"...I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a wellsupported journey into the modern theory of partial differentialequations and dynamic systems..." (The MathematicalGazette, March 2005)
