In this thesis, we study some biology inspired mathematical models. More precisely, we focus on kinetic partial differential equations. The fields of application of such equations are numerous but we focus here on propagation phenomena for invasive species, the Escherichia coli bacterium and the cane toad Rhinella marina, for example. The first part of this this does not establish any mathematical result. We build several models for the dispersion of the cane toad in Australia. We confront those very models to multiple statistical data (birth rate, survival rate, dispersal behaviors) to test their validity. Those models are based on velocity-jump processes and kinetic equations. In the second part, we study propagation phenomena on simpler kinetic models. We illustrate several methods to mathematically establish propagation speed in this models. This part leads us to establish convergence results of kinetic equations to Hamilton-Jacobi equations by the perturbed test function method. We also show how to use the Hamilton-Jacobi framework to establish spreading results et finally, we build travelling wave solutions for reaction-transport model. In the last part, we establish a stochastic diffusion limit result for a kinetic equation with a random term. To do so, we adapt the perturbed test function method on the formulation of a stochastic PDE in term of infinitesimal generators. The thesis also contains an annex which presents the data on toads’ trajectories used in the first part."
