Insects, when studied from the ecological perspective, provide a great
opportunity for scientific studies emphasizing population theory. The
simple fact of being successful organisms for their ability to colonize
different habitats or even for their high reproductive potential,
increases the interest of ecologists in conducting studies focused on
population and community level. Mathematical models are powerful tools
that can capture the essence of many biological systems and investigate
ecological patterns associated to ecological stability dependent on
endogenous and exogenous factors. This proposal comes from the idea of
adding experiences of researchers interested in working at the interface
between mathematical and computation theory and problems centered on
entomology, showing how mathematical modelling can be an important tool
for understanding population dynamics, behavior, pest management,
spatial structure and conservation.
