Conference on Mathematical Ecology

内布拉斯加州大学将于2012年4月14日至15日在内布拉斯加州林肯市举办为期两天的数学生态学会议。会议的主题是人口动态，并将与霍华德·罗利讲座一起举行，霍华德·罗利讲座是一个由数学系每年举办的面向普通观众的公开讲座。2012年罗利演讲将于2012年4月13日由阿尔伯塔大学数学和生物学教授马克·刘易斯发表。本次会议将对当前人口生态学的最新研究进行有效的跨学科概述，并将重点关注建模，数据收集，参数估计，数值模拟和数学分析之间的相互作用。会议将由该领域一些最杰出的研究人员进行15次半小时的演讲，一次海报会议，三次有组织的40分钟讨论时间，以及鼓励非正式互动的晚间活动。会议将促进数学家和生态学家之间的联系，以及早期职业研究人员和杰出研究人员之间的联系，鼓励新的想法和合作。财政支助将用于部分支持与会者的旅费和住宿费，主要是为处于职业生涯早期阶段的学生和研究人员，目的是使各种不同的研究人员尽可能参加会议。

The University of Nebraska will host a two-day Conference on Mathematical Ecology, to take place in Lincoln, Nebraska on April 14-15, 2012. The conference theme is Population Dynamics and will be held in conjunction with the Howard Rowlee Lecture, an endowed public lecture intended for a general audience, presented annually by the Department of Mathematics. The 2012 Rowlee address will be given on April 13, 2012 by Mark Lewis, Professor of Mathematics and Biology at the University of Alberta. This conference will present an efficient interdisciplinary overview of current state-of-the-art research in population ecology, and will focus on the interplay between modeling, data collection, parameter estimation, numerical simulation, and mathematical analysis. The conference will feature 15 half-hour presentations by some of the most distinguished researchers in the field, a poster session, three organized 40-minute discussion times, and evening activities to encourage informal interactions. The conference will foster contacts between mathematicians and ecologists, and between early-career researchers and eminent researchers, encouraging new ideas and collaborations. Financial support will be used for partial support of travel and lodging for the participants, primarily for students and researchers in the early stages of their careers, and is intended to make the conference as accessible as possible to a diverse group of researchers.
