Dear colleagues,
We would like to bring to your attention the meeting "Mathematical
Models in Evolution and Ecology" to be held at the University of
Sussex on September 20-21 2007.
Thanks,
Mark Broom (on behalf of the scientific and local organising
committees).
Mathematical Models in Evolution and Ecology
To be held at the University of Sussex on September 20/21 2007
Conference Description
Mathematical modelling plays a central and increasingly important role
in evolution and ecology. The object of the meeting is to
show the latest development of mathematical models in evolution and
ecology and to demonstrate the important role of such
modelling through this research to a new generation of researchers. The
programme will include keynote talks and sessions
in the following, and other, areas: population genetic models; the
modelling of epidemics; the use of game theory to model the
behaviour of biological populations. The last of these will be a central
theme, as befits a conference at the university where John
Maynard Smith carried out his pioneering work. There will also be a
session on research collaboration between biologists and
mathematicians, aimed at encouraging the development of new
collaborations.
All information about the meeting will appear on the conference website
http://www.maths.sussex.ac.uk/MMEE2007 . Registration and
submission of abstracts are now open. Confirmed keynote speakers are
Chris Cannings, Sergey Gavrilets, Patsy Haccou, Yoh Iwasa,
John McNamara and Karl Sigmund. Further information can be obtained by
contacting Mark Broom or Fiona Childs through the above website.
We are grateful to our sponsors: The London Mathematical Society, the
British Ecological Society, the Department of Mathematics, and the
Department of Biology and Environmental Science.
