Models of ungulate population dynamics

Models of Applied Population Dynamics

The paper is an overview of our recent results achieved with different coauthors, concerning several research lines of applied population dynamics we initiated some years ago, and mostly published in 2010. First, based on the classical Leslie population model, a dynamic demographic model including controlled immigration is recalled, and applying the Perron-Frobenius theory of nonnegative matric...

Population Dynamics of Iran from Sociological Approach

This paper examines intergenerational transmission associated with population dynamics from sociological approach. The discussion is based on the analysis of observations in a country that has experienced substantial changes in family formation resulting in one of the world's most spectacular falls in women's birth rate ever experienced in human history: Iran. Facing fundamental historical expe...

Density and climate influence seasonal population dynamics in an Arctic ungulate

The locally migratory behavior of the high arctic muskox (Ovibos muschatus) is a central component of the breeding and winter survival strategies applied to cope with the highly seasonal arctic climate. However, altered climate regimes affecting plant growth are likely to affect local migration dynamics of the muskox. In this study, we apply longterm local-scale data on the seasonal distributio...

Process Algebra Models of Population Dynamics

It is well understood that populations cannot grow without bound and that it is competition between individuals for resources which restricts growth. Despite centuries of interest, the question of how best to model density dependent population growth still has no definitive answer. We address this question here through a number of individual based models of populations expressed using the proce...
