Nonlinear interactions, diffusion, transport and locomotion of species are described by a system of reaction-diffusion-advection equations. Its transient and stationary nonequilibrium solutions in space and time are considered as patchy patterns in natural biological communities. Recent results on the emergence of spatio-temporal patterns in uniform as well as heterogeneous environments will be presented.
