Sommario/riassunto

"Genetic diversity is a level of biodiversity that refers to the total number of genetic characteristics in the genetic makeup of a species. It is distinguished from genetic variability, which describes the tendency of genetic characteristics to vary. Research has found that genetic diversity and biodiversity are dependent upon each other, that diversity within a species is necessary to maintain diversity among species, and vice versa. If any one type is removed from the system, the cycle can break down, and the community may become dominated by a single species. Thus, genetic diversity plays a huge role in survival and adaptability of a species. This book provides research on genetic diversity in plant, animal and human species. Relationships to environment changes and global warming are also studied."--Publisher's description.

Sommario/riassunto

The book originates from the mini-symposium "Mathematical descriptions of traffic flow: micro, macro and kinetic models" organised by the editors within the ICIAM 2019 Congress held in Valencia, Spain, in July 2019. The book is composed of five chapters, which address new research lines in the mathematical modelling of vehicular traffic, at the cutting edge of contemporary research, including traffic automation by means of autonomous vehicles. The contributions span the three most representative scales of mathematical modelling: the microscopic scale of particles, the mesoscopic scale of statistical kinetic description and the macroscopic scale of partial differential equations. The work is addressed to researchers in the field.
