Event
Stochastic Population Dynamics in Discrete Time
Dr. Alexandru Hening, University of Texas A&M
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.
