__Before reading__   Function, Model, optimization, probabilities, pattern, animals, bacteria, environment, insects, composition.
 * Read the tilte and list 10 words you think you might find in the text.

I know there are some models of mathematics that describe the population growth, and by studying this models you can predict behaviors in the a given population. *What do you know about jelly fish? What kind of fish is it? If you don't know, find out, cut and paste an image of this fish. Please acknowledge the source.  Jellyfish are this kind of semi-trasparent animals with tentacles that when you touch them they somehow burn you.
 * How can you use math applied to biology. Mention one thing you can think of.

*What is dispersion? If you don't know, find out, please acknowledge the source. __Dispersion usually indicates the difference between a giving result of a experiment and the value of the function in that point that best adjust to a group of results of the same experiment.

While Reading and After Reading__ 1. Click on the following link so that you can read the article. [] 2. Try to locate the words you though you were going to find in the text (question 1 before reading) List the words you found Model, animals, environment. 3. Find what the following referents in bold letters refer to in the text:


 * The species of Jellyfish studied are known as Aurelia and **these(the species of jellyfish)** are found over much of the world’s temperate oceans.
 * By simulating the movement of the jellyfish over a 7,000-year period the study provides strong evidence that the world-wide dispersal post-dates European global shipping and trade, **which(**world-wide dispersal) began almost 500 years ago.
 * Ships take in water for stability before a voyage and, despite preventative measures such as mid-ocean exchange/ flushing, **this 'foreign' water** and **its contents(foreign waters)** can find its way into bays and harbours at the ships destination.

> 4. What is happening with the fish? Marine environments around the world are being threatened by exotic species of moon jellyfish being dispersed by international shipping and trade 5. What explanation scientists had given? That the moon jelly fish had migrated to those arenas 6. What did mathematicians find out? What does the formula explain? That the moon jelly fish could not have migrate naturally, the formula describe de dispersion over time of the moon jellyfish
 * The computer model could answer similar questions about the migration and introduction of any suspected non-native marine creatures, according to **its(the computer model)** developers Professor Matthew England and Alex Sen Gupta.
 * <span style="color: #0077ff; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS',Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 9pt;">Now we have a tool that can include data on currents, geography and the biology of an organism to help separate natural dispersal **from that which happens(on-natural dispersal)** through shipping and trade
