Dr Jake Bicknell<\/a>, Lecturer in Conservation Biology, and Dr David Roberts<\/a>, Reader in Biodiversity Conservation at the Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology<\/a> (DICE), will be delivering talks at the upcoming Applications of Mathematics in Ecology workshop on Monday 2nd September, organised by the School of Mathematics, Statistics and Actuarial Science (SMSAS) and funded by the London Mathematical Society. There will be a range of presentations covering topics from mathematical biology to statistics to practical applications.<\/p>\n

Workshop overview and aims<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ecological systems are typically complex, involving non-linear interactions between multiple processes. Consequently, they are a rich source of inspiration for mathematical models with interesting dynamics; the analysis of which often requires the development of new approaches. As these models make new predictions about ecological systems, experimental and statistical techniques develop to test them and provide new observations to be modelled. The result is an ever evolving field requiring constant interactions with researchers from disciplines outside mathematics.<\/p>\n

The aim of this meeting is to inspire new research directions in mathematical ecology, by providing an opportunity for discussion between applied mathematicians, statisticians, and ecologists working on ecological problems.<\/p>\n
