| Abstract | Growth and interactions of populations determine local phenomena like multiple steady states and rhythmicity. Lifelike modelling must include spatial dynamics like propagation and motional interactions. Space itself can determine model structure and parametrization. A stationary or spatio-temporally variable heterogeneity also is a strong control parameter. This mini-symposium is directed towards models of bioinvasion and epidemic spread that demonstrate these dependencies. The talks can cover phenomena like multiple stability of populations and its role in persistence and spatial spread, regular and patchy invasion of alien species or infectious diseases, spread or failure of invasion, variability-induced temporal and/or spatiotemporal pattern formation and synchronization. The biological questions such as persistence, invasion, extinction, coexistence and (de-) stabilization require a wide range of mathematical techniques, especially from nonlinear ordinary and partial differential equations. |
