Beschreibung:There is probably no more appropriate location to hold a course on mathematical ecology than Italy, the country of Vito Volterra, a founding father of the subject. The Trieste 1982 Autumn Course on Mathematical Ecology consisted of four weeks of very concentrated scholasticism and aestheticism. The first weeks were devoted to fundamentals and principles of mathematical ecology. A nucleus of the material from the lectures presented during this period constitutes this book. The final week and a half of the Course was apportioned to the Trieste Research Conference on Mathematical Ecology whose proceedings have been published as Volume 54, Lecture Notes in Biomathematics, Springer-Verlag. The objectives of the first portion of the course were ambitious and, probably, unattainable. Basic principles of the areas of physiological, population, community, and ecosystem ecology that have solid ecological and mathematical foundations were to be presented. Classical terminology was to be introduced, important fundamental topics were to be developed, some past and some current problems of interest were to be presented, and directions for possible research were to be provided. Due to time constraints, the coverage could not be encyclopedic; many areas covered already have merited treatises of book length. Consequently, preliminary foundation material was covered in some detail, but subject overviews and area syntheses were presented when research frontiers were being discussed. These lecture notes reflect this course philosophy
