Special Session 107
    Spatial and temporal heterogeneity in reaction-diffusion-advection models and applications to biology

 Introduction:
  The special session aims to address some recent developments in mathematical modeling and analysis of reaction-diffusion-advection models in biology, with emphasis on spatial and temporal variability. Reaction-diffusion-advection models are ubiquitous tools to couple spatio-temporal interaction with biological dynamics. Quantifying the effect of such heterogeneities presents significant mathematical challenges. More generally, understanding biological processes in spatially and / or temporally varying environments can significantly enhance our understanding of how diversity is maintained in complex ecosystems and how organisms respond to different changes in a global scale.
