The Branching Process with Logistic Growth
In order to model random density-dependence in population dynamics, we construct the random analogue of the well-known logistic process in the branching process’ framework. This densitydependence corresponds to intraspecific competition pressure, which is ubiquitous in ecology, and translates mathematically into a quadratic death rate. The logistic branching process, or LB-process, can thus be ...
متن کاملA logistic branching process for population genetics.
A logistic (regulated population size) branching process population genetic model is presented. It is a modification of both the Wright-Fisher and (unconstrained) branching process models, and shares several properties including the coalescent time and shape, and structure of the coalescent process with those models. An important feature of the model is that population size fluctuation and regu...
متن کاملConditioning the logistic branching process on non-extinction
We consider a birth and death process in which death is due to both ‘natural death’ and to competition between individuals, modelled as a quadratic function of population size. The resulting ‘logistic branching process’ has been proposed as a model for numbers of individuals in populations competing for some resource, or for numbers of species. However, because of the quadratic death rate, even...
متن کاملA Logistic Branching Process Alternative to the Wright-Fisher Model
Introduction Most of the theoretical work in population genetics is based on the Wright-Fisher Model (Ewens 1979), which has constant population size and discrete generations. However, most of its analysis has been done using a continuous approximation, in particular, the diffusion approximation of Kimura (1962) and the coalescent analysis of Kingman (1980a,b). The present work considers the ex...
متن کاملFrom Brownian Motion with a Local Time Drift to Feller’s Branching Diffusion with Logistic Growth
We give a new proof for a Ray-Knight representation of Feller’s branching diffusion with logistic growth in terms of the local times of a reflected Brownian motion H with a drift that is affine linear in the local time accumulated by H at its current level. In [5], such a representation was obtained by an approximation through Harris paths that code the genealogies of particle systems. The pres...
