The book contains a full range of articles, varying from general introductory texts to state-of-the-art research in biomathematics, with topics ranging from population genetics, population dynamics, speciation, adaptive dynamics, game theory, kin selection, and stochastic processes. Advanced students and researchers in mathematics, biology and related fields will profit of 11 invited articles of leading researchers in the interface between evolutionary biology and mathematics written on the occasion of the sesquicentennial year of the publication of Darwin's masterpiece "On the Origins of Species". This is book is perfect both for a newbie in the subject and for a specialist looking for a broad and update view in one of the most active fields of research. Mathematicians looking for new problems as well as biologists looking for rigorous description of population dynamics will find this book fundamental.
