In this respect, permanence or persistence, new concepts in dynamical systems theory, seem important. These concepts give anewaspectinmathematicsthatincludesvariousnonlinearphenomenasuch as chaos and phase transition, as well as the traditional concepts of stability and oscillation. Permanence and persistence analyses are expected not only to develop as new fields in mathematics but also to provide useful measures ofrobustsurvivalforbiologicalspeciesinconservationbiologyandecosystem management. Thus the study of dynamical systems will hopefully lead us to ausefulpolicyforbio-diversityproblemsandthe conservationofendangered species. The above fact brings us to recognize the importance of collabora- tions among mathematicians, biologists, environmental scientists and many related scientists as well. Mathematicians should establish a mathematical basis describing the various problems that appear in the dynamical systems of biology, and feed back their work to biology and environmental sciences. Biologists and environmental scientists should clarify/build the model sys- tems that are important in their own global biological and environmental problems. In the end mathematics, biology and environmental sciences de- velop together. TheInternationalSymposium“DynamicalSystemsTheoryandItsAppli- cationsto BiologyandEnvironmentalSciences”,heldatHamamatsu,Japan, March14th–17th,2004,under the chairmanshipofone ofthe editors(Y.T.), gavethe editorsthe ideaforthe bookMathematics for Ecology and Environ- mental Sciences and the chapters include material presented at the sympo- sium as the invited lectures. VI Preface The editors asked authors of each chapter to follow some guidelines: 1. tokeepinmindthateachchapterwillbereadbymanynon-experts,who do not have backgroundknowledge of the field; 2. at the beginning of each chapter, to explain the biological background of the modeling and theoretical work. This need not include detailed information about the biology, but enough knowledge to understand the model in question; 3. to review and summarize the previous theoretical and mathematical works and explain the context in which their own work is placed; 4. to explain the meaning of each term in the mathematical models, and the reasonwhythe particularfunctionalformischosen,whatis different from other authors’ choices etc. What is obvious for the author may not be obvious for general readers; 5. thentopresentthemathematicalanalysis,whichcanbethemainpartof eachchapter.Ifitistootechnical,onlytheresultsandthemainpointsof the technique of the mathematical analysis should be presented, rather than of showing all the steps of mathematical proof; 6. in the end of each chapter, to have a section (“Discussion”) in which the authordiscussesbiologicalimplicationsoftheoutcomeofthemathemat- ical analysis (in addition to mathematical discussion). Mathematics for Ecology and Environmental Sciences includes a wide va- riety of stimulating topics in mathematical and theoretical modeling and techniquestoanalyzethemodels inecologyandenvironmentalsciences.Itis hoped that the book will be useful as a source of future researchprojects on aspects of mathematical or theoreticalmodeling in ecology and environmen- talsciences.Itisalsohopedthatthebookwillbeusefultograduatestudents in the mathematical and biologicalsciences as well as to those in some areas of engineering and medicine. Readers should have had a course in calculus, and a knowledge of basic differential equations would be helpful.
