Outline
Formulating spatial models:
- Random walks
- Reaction-diffusion equations
- Integrodifference equations
Core problems:
- Population persistence. What is the critical patch size for an endangered population?
- Range shifts. Can populations keep pace with climate-induced range shifts?
- Spread rates How quickly do invading populations spread?
- Pattern formation. Can spatial patterns in density arise from trophic interactions and dispersal in homogeneous environments?
- Age and stage structure. How do age and stage structure, in growth and dispersal, affect the answers to the above questions?
