| Summary: | Dispersal of populations and genetic information by finite element methods is modelled. The resulting non-linear initial boundary value problems are solved for geometries of heterogeneous landscapes, which determine model parameters namely diffusion coefficients, habitat suitability and land use. The evaluation of management practices for biological control and for risk management concerning the dispersal of resistant biotypes in GMO cultures necessitates the integration of spatial aspects. It is concluded that the promising application fields are the dispersal of genetic information from GMO crops in landscapes, the invasion of new species under global change scenarios and the spread of epidemics in animal populations. |
