Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue "Research on Reaction–Diffusion Equations and Population Dynamics" addresses fundamental questions in spatial ecology through the application of reaction–diffusion equations. It explores the impacts of population interactions and environmental heterogeneity on population dynamics, enhancing our understanding of critical ecological phenomena and mechanisms. Key topics include population growth, predator–prey relationships, inter-specific competition, and responses to environmental variability. The Issue features a blend of theoretical analyses, such as stability and pattern formation, alongside empirical validations, highlighting the role of spatial processes in regulating population distribution and persistence. By integrating mathematical modeling with ecological insights, this Issue contributes valuable perspectives for ecological conservation, resource management, and informed policy-making.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
