TL;DR
Techniques for estimating the coefficients, boundary data, and initial data associated with transport equations (or more generally, parabolic distributed models) based on cubic spline approximations are developed and convergence results are given.
Abstract
We developed techniques for estimating the coefficients, boundary data, and initial data associated with transport equations (or more generally, parabolic distributed models). Our estimation schemes are based on cubic spline approximations, for which convergence results are given. We discuss the performance of these techniques in two investigations of biological interest: (1) transport of labeled sucrose in brain tissue white matter, (2) insect dispersal that cannot be modeled by a random diffusion mechanism alone.

A Markov model of patch—to—patch dispersal in which each flea beetle's probability of movement depends on patch quality and distance to neighboring patches was developed, and the dependence of that foraging behavior on patch dispersion was shown to be mediated by varying levels of mobility.

The case is made that theory must be recognized as an activity closely tied to, but separate and independent in objectives and perspective, from field observation and experimentation, as well as on recent efforts to develop a theory of the evolution of dispersal and dormancy in heterogeneous environments.
