This appears to be a review article describing various models of population dispersal. It is
quite readable and gives the important historical references to work in this area. Beginning
with reactiondiffusion models of Skellam, the author discusses the stochastic underpinnings
of the models as well as the models from a continuum perspective. Even the basics of
stochastic integration are reviewed to allow the reader to follow derivations of the forward
and backward Fokker and Planck equations for the probability density of Langevin particles.
