Chaotic dynamics of a nonlinear density dependent population model
We study the dynamics of an overcompensatory Leslie population model where the fertility rates decay exponentially with population size. We find a plethora of complicated dynamical behaviour, some of which has not been previously observed in population models and which may give rise to new paradigms in population biology and demography. We study the twoand three-dimensional models and find a la...
متن کاملFeedback control systems analysis of density dependent population dynamics
We use feedback control methods to prove existence of globally asymptotically stable equilibria for nonlinear (density dependent) population dynamics. We focus on populations modelled in discrete size or stage classes so that the model has a natural state space of nonnegative vectors in R. Combining comparison results and small gain techniques, we characterize the situations when there is a pos...
متن کاملRadial propagation in population dynamics with density-dependent diffusion.
Population dynamics that evolve in a radial symmetric geometry are investigated. The nonlinear reaction-diffusion model, which depends on population density, is employed as the governing equation for this system. The approximate analytical solution to this equation is found. It shows that the population density evolves from the initial state and propagates in a traveling-wave-like manner for a ...
متن کاملPopulation Dynamics of Bacterial Persistence
Persistence is a prime example of phenotypic heterogeneity, where a microbial population splits into two distinct subpopulations with different growth and survival properties as a result of reversible phenotype switching. Specifically, persister cells grow more slowly than normal cells under unstressed growth conditions, but survive longer under stress conditions such as the treatment with bact...
متن کاملBacterial population dynamics in a meromictic lake.
Polyclonal antibodies against nine different bacteria isolated from Lake Saelenvannet in western Norway were produced, and the population dynamics of these strains in the lake were monitored through two spring seasons by immunofluorescence staining. The total counts of bacteria varied over time and space from 1.5 x 10(6) to 1.5 x 10(7) cells ml-1. The counts of specific bacteria were in the ran...
