Resonant Activation of Population Extinctions
Christopher Spalding, Charles R. Doering, Glenn R. Flierl
Understanding the mechanisms governing population extinctions is of key importance to many problems in ecology and evolution. Stochastic factors are known to play a central role in…
Demographic Fluctuations versus Spatial Variation in the Competition between Fast and Slow Dispersers
Jack N. Waddell, Leonard M. Sander, Charles R. Doering
Dispersal is an important strategy that allows organisms to locate and exploit favorable habitats. The question arises: given competition in a spatially heterogeneous landscape, wh…
Extinction times for birth-death processes: exact results, continuum asymptotics, and the failure of the Fokker-Planck approximation
Charles R. Doering, Khachik V. Sargsyan, Leonard M. Sander
We consider extinction times for a class of birth-death processes commonly found in applications, where there is a control parameter which determines whether the population quickly…
