Biological network analysis is a fast moving science. Many core scientific issues; for example, ecological structure, coevolution, coextinction and biodiversity conservation in ecology, cancer development and metabolic regulation in health science, etc., are expected to be addressed by network analysis. Network analysis is becoming the core methodology to treat complex biological systems. With the quick development of this science, more and more papers on biological networks are published.

This book includes such theories and methods of network biology as methodology of social network analyses, construction of statistic networks, phylogenetic networks, multi-stable and oscillatory biological networks, creation of real networks with expected degree distribution, forest ecosystem model, etc. Chapters are contributed by 15 scientists from the USA, Canada, New Zealand, China, Sweden, and Spain, in the areas of computational science and life sciences. It will provide researchers with various aspects of the latest advances in network biology. It is a valuable reference for scientists, university teachers and graduate students in biology, health science, ecology, social science, applied mathematics and computational science.
