Stochastic Population Dynamics in Discrete Time
Show/Hide Abstract
I will present a general theory for coexistence and extinction of ecological communities that are influenced by stochastic temporal environmental fluctuations. The results apply to discrete time stochastic difference equations that can include population structure, eco-environmental feedback or other internal or external factors. Using the general theory, I will showcase some interesting examples. I will end my talk by explaining how the population size at equilibrium is influenced by environmental fluctuations.

MATHEMATICAL BIOLOGY
The Center runs a roughly biweekly seminar series in which we invite researchers in mathematical biology to give a lecture, from around the country and beyond. Many of these seminar speakers are also long-term visitors to Penn, who will interact with a broad range of researchers across campus.
OUR FELLOWS
The Simons Postdoctoral Fellows work in the general area of mathematical biology. Each Fellow is mentored by two advisors, typically one affiliated with the Department of Mathematics and another with the Department of Biology.
