Structured Population Models in Marine, Terrestrial and Freshwater Systems: A Workshop

这个为期4周的暑期学校研讨会，是海洋、陆地和淡水生态系统比较系列中的第三个，重点是结构化的人口模型。结构化模型明确地将个体生物学与种群动力学联系起来。本课程将涵盖结构化模型的所有三种主要数学方法：矩阵总体模型、偏微分方程模型和延迟微分方程模型。结构化模型在跨越海洋、陆地和淡水生态系统的两个重要问题中发挥着至关重要的作用。一个是种群对全球气候变化的反应，另一个是海洋种群和陆地种群之间的差异。本课程旨在研究个体在不同环境中的反应是如何转化为种群动态的。

This 4-week Summer School Workshop, the third in a series devoted to comparisons of marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems, focuses on structured population models. Structured models explicitly link the biology of individual to the dynamics of populations. The course will cover all three main mathematical approaches to structured models: matrix population models, partial differential equation models, and delay differential equation models. Structured models have a crucial role to play in two important problems that cut across marine, terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. One is the response of populations to global climate change, and the other is the difference between marine populations and terrestrial populations. This course is designed to examine in which way individual responses in different environments are translated into population dynamics.
