  abstract: This volume forms a collection of papers dealing with (1) applications of the Markov decision process to the optimal clutch size layed by insects; (2) optimal life history strategies of annual plants using optimal control theory; (3) optimal foraging in a patchy environment, using impulse control theory; (4) extinction of fur seal, using differential games, and (5) evolutionary stable strategies, using a newly developed mathematical theory, based on differential games. Readers, both applied mathematicians and ecologists, interested in mathematical applications in biology and ecology will find fresh approaches to some fundamental questions in ecology and evolution. Basic mathematical skills are required, yet the applications are rather sophisticated.
  table of contents: Modelling Behavioral Decisions of Insects -- Optimal Reproductive Strategies in Annual Plants -- Applications of Optimal Impulse Control to Optimal Foraging Problems -- Fur Seal and Blue Whale: The Bioeconomics of Extinction -- Predator-Prey Coevolution as an Evolutionary Game.
