Managing Populations with Unimodal Dynamics

چکیده
In this work, we analyzed the impact of interventions on populations which exhibit unimodal dynamics. The six landmarks that characterize the “shape” of the unimodal reproduction curve f x of the difference equation, 1 n n X f X , are defined and used in order to examine and determine the behavior of dynamics of populations. By using the Li-Yorke criterion for determination of chaos we propose a qualitative intervention rule that can be applied without any explicit population equation. This proposed strategy for intervention brings out many interesting behaviors in population dynamics. A qualitative decision rule can be applied with a straight edge without any population equation and therefore offers a robust strategy for the management of populations.

Harvest timing and its population dynamic consequences in a discrete single-species model.
The timing of harvesting is a key instrument in managing and exploiting biological populations and renewable resources. Yet, there is little theory on harvest timing, and even less is known about the impact of different harvest times on the stability of population dynamics, even though this may drive population variability and risk of extinction. Here, we employ the framework proposed by Seno t...
متن کاملBifurcations of Unimodal Maps
We review recent results that lead to a very precise understanding of the dynamics of typical unimodal maps from the statistical point of view. We also describe the (generalized) renormalization approach to the study of the statistical properties of typical unimodal maps.
متن کاملOligomorphic dynamics for analyzing the quantitative genetics of adaptive speciation.
Ecological interaction, including competition for resources, often causes frequency-dependent disruptive selection, which, when accompanied by reproductive isolation, may act as driving forces of adaptive speciation. While adaptive dynamics models have added new perspectives to our understanding of the ecological dimensions of speciation processes, it remains an open question how best to incorp...
متن کاملHyperbolicity of Renormalization of Critical Circle Maps
The renormalization theory of critical circle maps was developed in the late 1970’s–early 1980’s to explain the occurence of certain universality phenomena. These phenomena can be observed empirically in smooth families of circle homeomorphisms with one critical point, the so-called critical circle maps, and are analogous to Feigenbaum universality in the dynamics of unimodal maps. In the works...
متن کاملPhysical Measures for Infinitely Renormalizable Lorenz Maps
A physical measure on the attractor of a system describes the statistical behavior of typical orbits. An example occurs in unimodal dynamics. Namely, all infinitely renormalizable unimodal maps have a physical measure. For Lorenz dynamics, even in the simple case of infinitely renormalizable systems, the existence of physical measures is more delicate. In this article we construct examples of i...
