Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to the Special Issue “Models in Population Dynamics, Ecology and Evolution”. The Special Issue is broadly based on the conference on Models in Population Dynamics, Ecology, and Evolution - MPDEE’25 (https://www.bcamath.org/events/mpdee25/en/) that took place in Bilbao, Spain, from 5 to 9 May, 2025.
The meeting considered applications of mathematical modelling to explore processes and mechanisms in various biological systems ranging from bacteria to the human society. A special focus was on the interplay between ecology and evolution across time and space, particularly under the effect of climate change. MPDEE’25 also explored similarities between modelling techniques traditionally applied in ecology and evolution and those used in other life sciences aiming to enhance interdisciplinary approaches and to stimulate further advances in population dynamics, ecology and evolution.
This Special Issue reflects the conference’s main themes and serves as a publication outlet for work presented at the event. Submissions from conference participants are welcome, but the Special Issue is also open to all researchers whose work fits within the scope, regardless of their participation in MPDEE’25.
Prof. Dr. Sergei Petrovskii

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
