Reaction-diffusion models are often used to describe biological invasion, where populations of individuals that undergo random motility and proliferation lead to moving fronts. Many models of biological invasion are extensions of the…

We investigate the pushed-to-pulled transition for a minimal model for invasive fronts influence by ``aerotaxis,'' that is, when organisms follow oxygen gradients. We consider two singular reaction-advection-diffusion models for this. The…

The famous Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion model combines linear diffusion with the typical KPP reaction term, and appears in a number of relevant applications in biology and chemistry. It is remarkable as a mathematical model since it…

We examine travelling wave solutions of the Porous-Fisher model, $\partial_t u(x,t)= u(x,t)\left[1-u(x,t)\right] + \partial_x \left[u(x,t) \partial_x u(x,t)\right]$, with a Stefan-like condition at the moving front, $x=L(t)$. Travelling…
