Some of the ecological modelling subsection of MoLES have recently returned from an exciting trip to Edmonton Canada for the Society for Mathematical Biology Meeting 2025! My PhD students Kaitlyn Ries (spatiotemporal modelling of invasive species), Axa Lääperi (climate change effects on the spread of wildfires) and Matt Dopson (cyclic population dynamics) all presented their work at this large international meeting – great job everyone!
