Abstract

Darwin illustrated his theory about emergence and evolution of biological species with adiagram. It shows how species exist, evolve, appear and disappear. The goal of this workis to give a mathematical interpretation of this diagram and to show how it can bereproduced in mathematical models. It appears that conventional models in populationdynamics are not sufficient, and we introduce a number of new models which take intoaccount local, nonlocal and global consumption of resources, and models with space andtime dependent coefficients.
