Hastings Beetle Workshop
Bob Costantino and Brett Melbourne are joining us for the next two days to talk about stochastic population dynamics in Tribolium.


 * Morning Session, 9a - 11a
 * Outline the individual based model, toolbox
 * Group lunch, noon-1:30
 * My lab Presentation, 2p-3p
 * Present multidimensional linear noise approximation approach to characterizing the demographically stochastic key class.
 * Afternoon session, 3p-4p
 * Follow-up on understanding noise propagation in age structure dynamics.
 * ( Phylogenetics Workshop, 4-6:30)
 * Group dinner 7:00-9:00

(Details to be transcribed still)

Presentation

 * Motivation: qualitative differences from noise -- geometric mean fitness
 * Why demographic noise is often negligible
 * Why it isn't
 * Enhancement
 * Inflation
 * transient bimodality
 * Notion of key class in age structured model
 * Crowley-based model simulation
 * Analytic approximation
 * Insights from linear noise approximation
 * Challenges: inference based and computationally based difficulties.
