Multiple extinction routes in stochastic population models.
Isolated populations ultimately go extinct because of the intrinsic noise of elementary processes. In multipopulation systems extinction of a population may occur via more than one route. We investigate this generic situation in a simple predator-prey (or infected-susceptible) model. The predator and prey populations may coexist for a long time, but ultimately both go extinct. In the first exti...
متن کاملStochastic models of population extinction.
Theoretical ecologists have long sought to understand how the persistence of populations depends on biotic and abiotic factors. Classical work showed that demographic stochasticity causes the mean time to extinction to increase exponentially with population size, whereas variation in environmental conditions can lead to a power-law scaling. Recent work has focused especially on the influence of...
متن کاملPredicting extinction rates in stochastic epidemic models
We investigate the stochastic extinction processes in a class of epidemic models. Motivated by the process of natural disease extinction in epidemics, we examine the rate of extinction as a function of disease spread. We show that the effective entropic barrier for extinction in a susceptible–infected– susceptible epidemic model displays scaling with the distance to the bifurcation point, with ...
متن کاملPredicting extinction risks under climate change: coupling stochastic population models with dynamic bioclimatic habitat models.
Species responses to climate change may be influenced by changes in available habitat, as well as population processes, species interactions and interactions between demographic and landscape dynamics. Current methods for assessing these responses fail to provide an integrated view of these influences because they deal with habitat change or population dynamics, but rarely both. In this study, ...
متن کاملPopulation control methods in stochastic extinction and outbreak scenarios
Adaptive limiter control (ALC) and adaptive threshold harvesting (ATH) are two related control methods that have been shown to stabilize fluctuating populations. Large variations in population abundance can threaten the constancy and the persistence stability of ecological populations, which may impede the success and efficiency of managing natural resources. Here, we consider population models...
