This book contains recent research in mathematical and analytical
studies on diatoms. These studies reflect the complex and intricate
nature of the problems being analyzed and the need to use
mathematics as an aid in finding solutions. Diatoms are important
components of marine food webs, the silica and carbon cycles,
primary productivity, and carbon sequestration. Their uniqueness as
glass-encased unicells and their presence throughout geologic
history exemplify the need to better understand such organisms.
Explicating the role of diatoms in the biological world is no more
urgent than their role as environmental and climate indicators, and
as such, is aided by the mathematical studies in this book. This
volume contains twelve original research papers as chapters.
Macroevolutionary science topics covered are morphological
analysis, morphospace analysis, adaptation, food web dynamics,
origination-extinction and diversity, biogeography, life cycle
dynamics, complexity, symmetry, and evolvability. Mathematics used
in the chapters include stochastic and delay differential and
partial differential equations, differential geometry, probability
theory, ergodic theory, group theory, knot theory, statistical
distributions, chaos theory, and combinatorics. Applied sciences
used in the chapters include networks, machine learning, robotics,
computer vision, image processing, pattern recognition, and
dynamical systems. The volume covers a diverse range of
mathematical treatments of topics in diatom research.
