Readership: Researchers in interdiciplinary multiscale systems, in biology, meteorology, molecular dynamics, simulations, ecology, and physics. There is also a chapter involving the philosophy of this type of science.

A multitude of biological phenomena are described at multiple levels. What are the commonalities and differences between neuroscience, evolutionary biology, molecular biology and ecology in this regard? How can mathematics help in describing these phenomena? How can these phenomena inspire new theory? We invited leading scholars from a number of diciplines facing such challenges and from mathematical diciplines potentially able to tackle them.
