2 Modeling copepod biodiversity and life-history using evolutionary computing Ϙ Motivating questions Ϙ The Compupod Project Ϙ Mechanistic modeled copepod Ϙ Validate mechanistic formulation across taxa Ϙ Generalize first principles to population level Ϙ Generalize first principles to community level Ϙ Comments Ϙ Next steps 2 2

3 Modeling copepod biodiversity and life-history using evolutionary computing Motivating questions Ϙ Why are many arctic / subarctic systems dominated by single large Calanus species? Ϙ Why do dominant Calanus congeners range in adult size by an order of magnitude? (e.g. finmarchicus vs hyperboreus) Ϙ How do temperature and seasonality structure the diversity of copepod communities? Ϙ What influences the size structure of copepod communities? Ϙ Many others 3 3

4 The Compupod Project Broad approach Ϙ Build a first-principles mechanistic copepod ( compupod ) Ϙ Validation: test model against well-studied taxa Ϙ Generalize formulation to population and community levels Example: compupod development/growth 4 4

5 Generic copepod ( compupod ) Mechanistic formulation 1)Temperature-dependent development rate empirical: D(T) = a(t - α) b (Belehradek 1935) - soft parameters a, b, α mechanistic (?) : D(T) = a exp[-e(t -T 0 )/(ktt 0 )] (Arrhenius 1889) - soft parameters a, E 5 5

6 Generic copepod ( compupod ) Mechanistic formulation 1)Temperature-dependent development rate empirical: D(T) = a(t-α) b (Belehradek 1935) - soft parameters a, b, α mechanistic(?) universial temperature dependence : - soft parameters a, E D(T) = a exp[-e(t-t 0 )/(ktt 0 )] (Arrhenius 1889) (Maps et al 2011) 6 6

7 Generic copepod ( compupod ) Mechanistic formulation 1)Temperature-dependent development rate 2)Ingestion empirical: I = I max ( 1 - exp(- a F) ) (Ivlev 1955) - based on hunger mechanistic: I = Z F /( 1+h Z F ) (Holling 1959) - handling time, encounter rate are measurable - follow allometric scaling (m 3/4 ) 7 7

8 Generic copepod ( compupod ) Mechanistic formulation 1)Temperature-dependent development rate 2)Ingestion 3)Allometric scaling - metabolism, foraging, etc. related to mass (m 3/4 ) 8 8

9 Validation Parameterize to 4 taxa (Maps et al 2011, in review) - Calanus finmarchicus, C. glacialis, C. hyperboreus, Pseudocalanus spp. - Tune parameters using genetic algorithm - Validate using information from the literature not included in tuning 9 9

10 Validation Good fits with lab data using genetic algorithm 10 Campbell et al

11 Validation Good agreement with information from the literature Ϙ Ϙ Ϙ Temperature-dependent gut clearance rate Food-dependent egg production rate Allometric egg production rate Dam and Peterson, 1988 Hirche et al., 1997 Hirche et al.,

12 Population Level For an individual compupod - state variables: (stage, mass) At the population level - C(s,m) = concentration of compupods at stage=s, mass=m C i, j t = (g i, j (T,F)C i, j ) m (d i, j (T,F)C i, j ) s μ i, j (F)

13 Population Level Ϙ Discretize and compute like an advection problem Ϙ Use anti-diffusive scheme (e.g. MUSCL) to allow low resolution, high computational speed Record & Pershing (2008)L&O-Methods 6:

14 Population Level Ϙ Ϙ Ϙ Simplified example of niche partitioning of 4 taxa Using constant food, temperature, mortality, etc. Winner is taxon with highest lifetime egg production rate 14 14
