Modeling the dynamics of inhomogeneous natural rotifer

چکیده
Most population models assume that individuals within a given population are identical, that is, the fundamental role of variation is ignored. Here we develop a general approach to modeling heterogeneous populations with discrete evolutionary time step. The theory is applied to population dynamics of natural rotifer populations. We show that under particular conditions the behavior of the inhomogeneous model possesses complex transition regimes, which depends both on the mean and the variance of the initial parameter distribution and the final state of the population depends on the least possible value from the domain of the parameter. The question of persistence of the population is discussed.

Inhomogeneous maps and mathematical theory of selection
In this paper we develop a theory of general selection systems with discrete time and explore the evolution of selection systems, in particular, inhomogeneous populations. We show that the knowledge of the initial distribution of the selection system allows us to determine explicitly the system distribution at the entire time interval. All statistical characteristics of interest, such as mean v...
متن کاملInfluence of Viscoelastic Foundation on Dynamic Behaviour of the Double Walled Cylindrical Inhomogeneous Micro Shell Using MCST and with the Aid of GDQM
In this article, dynamic modeling of double walled cylindrical functionally graded (FG) microshell is studied. Size effect of double walled cylindrical FG microshell are investigated using modified couple stress theory (MCST). Each layer of microshell is embedded in a viscoelastic medium. For the first time, in the present study, has been considered, FG length scale parameter in double walled c...
متن کاملModeling the dynamics of natural rotifer populations:
A model of the dynamics of natural rotifer populations is described as a discrete nonlinear map depending on three parameters, which reflect characteristics of the population and environment. Model dynamics and their change by variation of these parameters were investigated by methods of bifurcation theory. A phase–parametric portrait of the model was constructed and domains of population persi...
