Experimental Design and Estimation of Growth Rate Distributions in Size-Structured Shrimp Populations
We discuss inverse problem results for problems involving the estimation of probability distributions using aggregate data for growth in populations. We begin with a mathematical model describing variability in the early growth process of size-structured shrimp populations and discuss a computational methodology for the design of experiments to validate the model and estimate growth rate distri...
متن کاملNonlinear Size - Structured Population Models A
In this dissertation, some size-structured population models are studied.In Chapter 1, a quasilinear size-structured model that describes the dynamics of apopulation with n competing ecotypes is studied. Under the assumption that the vitalrates of each subpopulation depend on the total population due to competition, theconditions on the individual rates which guarantee compe...
متن کاملNonparametric Estimation of the Division Rate of a Size-Structured Population
We consider the problem of estimating the division rate of a size-structured population in a nonparametric setting. The size of the system evolves according to a transport-fragmentation equation: each individual grows with a given transport rate, and splits into two offsprings of the same size, following a binary fragmentation process with unknown division rate that depends on its size. In cont...
متن کاملEffects of growth curve plasticity on size-structured population dynamics.
The physiological-structured population models assume that a fixed fraction of energy intake is utilized for individual growth and maintenance while the remaining for adult fertility. The assumption results in two concerns: energy loss for juveniles and a reproduction dilemma for adults. The dilemma results from the possibility that adults have to breed even if metabolic costs fail to be covere...
متن کاملGuaranteeing population growth under uncertainty for structured population models∗
Structured population models are increasingly used in decision making, but typically have many entries that are unknown or highly uncertain. We present an approach for the systematic analysis of the effect of uncertainties on long-term population growth or decay. Many decisions for threatened and endangered species are made with poor or no information. We can still make decisions under these ci...
