Bob Costantino and Brett Melbourne are joining us for the next two days to talk about stochastic population dynamics in Tribolium.
- Morning Session, 9a - 11a
- Outline the individual based model, toolbox
 
 - Group lunch, noon-1:30
 - My lab Presentation, 2p-3p
- Present multidimensional linear noise approximation approach to characterizing the demographically stochastic key class.
 
 - Afternoon session, 3p-4p
- Follow-up on understanding noise propagation in age structure dynamics.
 
 - ( Phylogenetics Workshop, 4-6:30)
 - Group dinner 7:00-9:00
 
(Details to be transcribed still)
Presentation
- Motivation: qualitative differences from noise – geometric mean fitness
 - Why demographic noise is often negligible
 - Why it isn’t
- Enhancement
 - Inflation
 - transient bimodality
 
 - Notion of key class in age structured model
- Crowley-based model simulation
 - Analytic approximation
 
 - Insights from linear noise approximation
