The dynamic of populations is a branch of mathematics that studies the demographic trend of a species over time, be that species simple such as a virus or bacteria, or complex like mankind. Its chief aim is to describe, to explain and ultimately to predict the potential expansion, migration or extinction of the species in situations where the conditions in which it lives are subject to change, such as for example its introduction into a new habitat. The element of greatest change in our contemporary era is unquestionably climate change. Mathematics can use relatively simple equations to establish the fate of a species based on the rapidity of the change involved. One of the most interesting conclusions is the demonstration that there are situations in which climate change actually foster the species' proliferation.
 

Luca Rossi is Lecturer in mathematical analysis, Department of Mathematics, Rome Sapienza University, he concerns himself with mathemantical models applied to the dynamic of populations, to epidemiology and to the social sciences
