Notes by user Stephen Proulx (UCSB) for Irreversible Processes in Ecological Evolution

Post-meeting Reflection

1+ paragraphs on any combination of the following:

  • Presentation highlights
  • Open questions that came up
  • How your perspective changed
  • Impact on your own work
  • e.g. the discussion on [A] that we are having reminds me of [B] conference/[C] initiative/[D] funding call-for-proposal/[E] research group

My two questions:

1) How can we incorporate analyses of non-equilibrium dynamics *and* be able to make general theory?

2) How often do ecological feedbacks results in bi-stable evolutionary states?

Following up on my first question about non-equilibrium dynamics: We had a discussion of how to analyzed and communicate these kinds of results in publications. It seems that there is a missing set of tools to be able to categorize and communicate these kinds of results.

Pamela Martinez:

One of the ideas here was that frequency dependent selection could lead to coexistence, but also that this coexistence was complicated by environmental variability. The model fitting approach involved modeling both process and observation error, and some of the results were consistent with relatively constant total levels of infection even while reported cases could still vary.

Robert Marsland:

Some of what I was particularly interested in from this talk was liking the May type stability analysis to some sets of more mechanistic models. It was really interested in the possibility that the transition between communities that allowed as many species as niche to coexist and as the noise level goes up then the system transitions to maintaining only half the species.

Reference material notes

Some examples:

  • Here is [A] database on [B] that I pull data from to do [C] analysis that might be of interest to this group (insert link).
  • Here is a free tool for calculating [ABC] (insert link)
  • This painting/sculpture/forms of artwork is emblematic to our discussion on [X]!
  • Schwartz et al. 2017 offers a review on [ABC] migration as relate to climatic factors (add the reference as well).

I uploaded a paper by Alan Hastings and others on transient phenomena in ecology, published in Science as a review article.

I uploaded my paper on the stochastic lottery model that shows transitions between two different population states "What can Invasion Analyses Tell us about Evolution under Stochasticity in Finite Populations?". This paper develops an adaptive dynamics model for evolution of phenotype under a fecundity-survivorship trade off.

I posted a paper "Indirect genetic effects clarify how traits can evolve even when fitness does not" that relates to some of the discussion about interactions between individuals and the regulating factors that cause feedbacks and may themselves be evolving populations.
