hi paul:
if your interested in population dynamics in biological systems,check out the latest Mathematica in Education and Research issue for an article by kazume nishidate and myself on a cellular automata model of population dynamics of predator-prey ecosystems.
note: my new cellular automata modeling book is about 50% focueed on biological systems [the other half is on physics, chemistry, materials, social systems]. this book is due out from TELOS/Springer-Verlag on august 22 (I'll post an announcement here when I receive my own copy of the book).
