The present volume contains selected contributed papers from the BIOMAT 2008 Symposium and lectures delivered by keynote speakers during the plenary sessions. All chapters are centered on fundamental interdisciplinary areas of mathematical modeling of biosystems, like mathematical biology, biological physics, evolution biology and bioinformatics. It contains new results on the mathematical analysis of reaction-diffusion equations, demographic Allee effects and the dynamics of infection. Recent approaches to the modeling of biosystem structure, comprehensive reviews on icosahedral viral capsids and the classification of biological data via neural networks with prior knowledge, and a new perspective on a theoretical basis for bioinformatics are also discussed.This book contains original results on reaction-diffusion waves: the population dynamics of fishing resources and the effectiveness of marine protected areas; an approach to language evolution within a population dynamics framework; the analysis of bacterial genome evolution with Markov chains; the choice of defense strategies and the study of the arms-race phenomenon in a host-parasite system.

This book is the first thorough introduction to and comprehensive treatment of the theory and applications of integrodifference equations in spatial ecology. Integrodifference equations are discrete-time continuous-space dynamical systems describing the spatio-temporal dynamics of one or more populations. The book contains step-by-step model construction, explicitly solvable models, abstract theory and numerical recipes for integrodifference equations. The theory in the book is motivated and illustrated by many examples from conservation biology, biological invasions, pattern formation and other areas. In this way, the book conveys the more general message that bringing mathematical approaches and ecological questions together can generate novel insights into applications and fruitful challenges that spur future theoretical developments. The book is suitable for graduate students and experienced researchers in mathematical ecology alike.
