1. Chaotic dynamics in food web systems / G F. Fussmann -- 2. Generalized models / T. Gross [and others] -- 3. Dynamics of plant communities in drylands / E. Meron and E. Gilad -- 4. Metapopulation dynamics and the evolution of dispersal / K. Parvinen -- 5. The scaling law of human travel-a message from George / D. Brockmann and L. Hufnagel -- 6. Multiplicative processes in social systems / D.H. Zanette and S.C. Manrubia -- 7. Criticality in epidemiology / N. Stollenwerk and V.A.A. Jansen -- 8. Network models in epidemiology / A.L. Lloyd and S. Valeika -- 9. Genetic networks / S. Bottani and A. Mazurie.
Summary: "This collection of review articles is devoted to the modeling of ecological, epidemiological and evolutionary systems. Theoretical mathematical models are perhaps one of the most powerful approaches available for increasing our understanding of the complex population dynamics in these natural systems. Exciting new techniques are currently being developed to meet this challenge, such as generalized or structural modeling, adaptive dynamics or multiplicative processes. Many of these new techniques stem from the field of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory, where even the simplest mathematical rule can generate a rich variety of dynamical behaviors that bear a strong analogy to biological populations."
