Abstract
摘要 |
The talk presents two one parameter models of competing species. In the first the focus is on sessile species growing on a 2 dimensional surface. The focus is on self organized spatial segregation and emergence of diversity.As function of invasion probability we find a first order transition to a high diversity state, that rely on transient short lived cycles of length four to six. The second model suggest a new view on exponential growth and population collapses in a well mixed system. The emphasis is here on non-stationary aspects of ecosystem dynamics, including a new perspective on causes of oscillations in population sizes.
