Dispersal, Individual Movement and Spatial Ecology A Mathematical Perspective

Dispersal, Individual Movement and Spatial Ecology A Mathematical Perspective / edited by Mark A. Lewis, Philip K. Maini, Sergei V. Petrovskii.

Dispersal of plants and animals is one of the most fascinating subjects in ecology. It has long been recognized as an important factor affecting ecosystem dynamics. Dispersal is apparently a phenomenon of biological origin; however, because of its complexity, it cannot be studied comprehensively by...
