Stochastic models in population biology and their deterministic analogs.
We introduce a class of stochastic population models based on "patch dynamics." The size of the patch may be varied, and this allows one to quantify the departures of these stochastic models from various mean-field theories, which are generally valid as the patch size becomes very large. These models may be used to formulate a broad range of biological processes in both spatial and nonspatial c...
متن کاملA comparative study of Stochastic and Deterministic Population Models
In this paper theory from population biology is combined with stochastic differential equations. The aim is to compare previously studied deterministic population models with corresponding stochastic population models. As an illustrative example the models are applied to a classical dataset (Gause, 1934). The first half of the paper gives a brief review of the theoretical background needed in o...
متن کاملSpatial models: stochastic and deterministic
Theoretical studies of biological populations via analysis and/or simulation of deterministic and stochastic systems sometimes end up drawing conflicting conclusions. Papers purporting to investigate the same dynamics, albeit through different methods, often cannot agree on essential properties of the system being modeled. This problem often arises when trying to compare results that were obtai...
متن کاملStochastic analogues of deterministic single-species population models.
Although single-species deterministic difference equations have long been used in modeling the dynamics of animal populations, little attention has been paid to how stochasticity should be incorporated into these models. By deriving stochastic analogues to difference equations from first principles, we show that the form of these models depends on whether noise in the population process is demo...
متن کاملDeterministic versus Stochastic Aspects of Superexponential Population Growth Models
Deterministic population growth models with power-law rates can exhibit a large variety of growth behaviors, ranging from algebraic, exponential to hyperexponential (finite time explosion). In this setup, selfsimilarity considerations play a key role, together with two time substitutions. Two stochastic versions of such models are investigated, showing a much richer variety of behaviors. One is...
