Background

Mathematical modeling in biology extends across various disciplines like disease spread, population genetics, and ecological systems. Recently, the advent of diseases such as M-Pox has emphasized the importance of understanding disease dynamics, which is crucial for biological conservation and public health. Mathematical models offer cost-effective tools to simulate and predict the behaviors of complex biological systems, thereby providing valuable insights that can lead to effective intervention strategies. Despite these advances, the necessity for refined models that can handle the increasing complexity of biological data and provide more accurate predictions remains significant.

This Research Topic aims to gather innovative research findings that apply mathematical modeling to enhance our understanding and management of biological systems. The focus is particularly on novel methodologies that can dissect complex interactions within ecosystems and amongst populations, aiding in mitigating the impacts of disease outbreaks and advancing our ecological knowledge.

To gather further insights in biological and ecological systems modeling, we welcome articles addressing, but not limited to, the following themes:

- Dynamical Systems
- Integro-Partial Differential Equations (Integro-PDE's)
- Population Genetics and Growth
- Bioinformatics
- Heartbeat Patterns Modeling
- Optimal Control Theory
- Evolutionary Game Theory
- Fractional Calculus

Submissions may include research articles, review papers, methodology papers, and more, contributing to a richer understanding and innovative applications of mathematical models in biological sciences.
