Conference on Mathematical Ecology theme: Population Dynamics Hosts: University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Nebraska Department of Mathematics, School of Biological Sciences, and School of Natural Resources
April 14-15, 2012 Conference starts: 8 am on Saturday, April 14 Conference ends: noon on Sunday, April 15 The Conference will provide an interdisciplinary overview of the current state-of-the-art research in Population Dynamics, through talks from some of the most distinguished researchers in the field, and will foster contacts between mathematicians and ecologists, and contacts between early-career and senior researchers. The conference features 15 half-hour presentations, three organized 40-minute discussion times, and evening activities to encourage informal interaction. Speakers (in alphabetical order): Priyanga Amarasekare (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, UCLA) Stephen Cantrell (Mathematics, University of Miami) Kim Cuddington (Biology, University of Waterloo) Stephen Ellner (Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Cornell) Bill Fagan (Biology, University of Maryland) Mark Lewis (Mathematical Sciences, Biological Sciences, University of Alberta) Judith Miller (Mathematics, Georgetown) Michael Neubert (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Biology Department Ocean Life Institute Roger Nisbet (Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology, University of California, Santa Barbara) Tim Reluga (Mathematics and Biology, Penn State) Sebastian Schreiber (Evolution and Ecology, University of California - Davis) Stuart Townley (Mathematics Research Institute, University of Exeter) Shripad Tuljapurkar (Biology, Stanford) Pauline van den Driessche (Mathematics and Statistics, University of Victoria) Hao Wang (Mathematical and Statistical Sciences, University of Alberta) Rowlee Lecture, April 13: On Friday, April 13 at 4pm, Mark Lewis will give the Annual Howard Rowlee Lecture, a public lecture presented annually by the Department of Mathematics at UNL. The Rowlee Lecture Series are suitable for a large, diverse audience which does not necessarily have a mathematical or scientific background, see math.unl.edu/events/rowlee/ for more details about the series.
