CATEGORIES:Conferences - Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dr Marino Gatto\, Ecology\, Politecnico di Milano\, IT\nEcolog
 y studies the interactions of organisms with the surrounding environment\,
  be it biotic or abiotic. The response to environment occurs on a hierarch
 y of spatial and temporal scales and/or structures that must be suitably i
 ncorporated into ecological models. The seminar will focus on the analysis
  of spatial patterns and the relevant modeling that explains their formati
 on\, which is crucially dependent on the movement of organisms. Four cases
  will be presented: • the vegetation patterns as determined by seed pred
 ation\; • the spatial distribution and evolution of waterborne diseases\
 , in particular of cholera\; • the dynamics and spread of aquatic invasi
 ve species\, in particular the zebra mussel Dreissena polymorpha\; • the
  spatiotemporal dynamics of the European eel Anguilla anguilla\, a species
  with a complex life cycle encompassing freshwater and Ocean.
