The Dynamics of Heterogeneous Ecological and Evolutionary Systems

这项建议将支持研究生的培训， 数学和生物学领域。 研究的重点 区域将是异质生态和 进化系统，强调空间和时间 异质性 重点将放在确定性和随机性 跨广泛的组织和时间尺度的模型。学生 将有望获得确定性或 随机数学技术，在计算方法和 统计学和生物学专业领域。 学生可以主修几个生物学领域之一， 正式未成年人在数学领域，或者他们可能主要在一个 数学领域，而进行现场或实验室 研究，并满足生物学的正式要求 minor. 学生将通过一个综合项目进行培训， 包括数学家、生态学家和进化生物学家 有能力跨越 他们的纪律。

This proposal will support the training of graduate students in the areas of mathematics and biology. The focus of the research area will be the dynamics of heterogeneous ecological and evolutionary systems, with an emphasis on spatial and temporal heterogeneity. The focus will be on deterministic and stochastic models across broad organizational and temporal scales. Students will be expected to gain expertise in either deterministic or stochastic mathematical techniques, in computational methods and statistics, and in an area of specialization in biology. Students may major in one of several biological fields, with a formal minor in a mathematical field or they may major in one of the mathematical fields, while undertaking field or laboratory research, and satisfying the formal requirement for a biology minor. Students will be trained through an integrated program, involving mathematicians, ecologists, and evolutionary biologist with a demonstrated capacity to cross the boundaries between their disciplines.
