Featured topics include autism spectrum disorder, ectoparasites and allogrooming, argasid ticks dynamics, super-fast nematocyst firing, cancer-immune population dynamics, and the spread of disease through populations. Applications are investigated with mathematical models using a variety of techniques in ordinary and partial differential equations, difference equations, Markov-chain models, Monte-Carlo simulations, network theory, image analysis, and immersed boundary method. Each article offers a thorough explanation of the methodologies used and numerous tables and color illustrations to explain key results. This volume is suitable for graduate students and researchers interested in current applications of mathematical models in the biosciences. The research featured in this volume began among newly-formed collaborative groups at the 2017 Women Advancing Mathematical Biology Workshop that took place at the Mathematical Biosciences Institute in Columbus, Ohio. The groups spent one intensive week working at MBI and continued their collaborations after the workshop, resulting in the work presented in this volume.Association for Women in Mathematics Series,2364-5733 ;14BiomathematicsMathematical and Computational Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M31000Biomathematics.Mathematical and Computational Biology.362.1068Radunskaya Amiedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtSegal Rebeccaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtShtylla Blertaedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910300141003321Understanding Complex Biological Systems with Mathematics1564907UNINA
