Abstract
Reaction–transport equations allow us to model the spread of invading populations. Traveling front solutions describe the invasive process, and their velocity is a quantity that can be obtained from observational data. In this chapter we review some recent reaction–transport models and compare the theoretical predictions with the observed values for the rate of population invasions.
