3 Discrete Population Models Differential equation models require overlap of generations Often no overlap between the generations (e.g. salomon, snowdrops, Octopus Vulgaris ) Difference equation: N t+1 = (Nt ) = N t F (N t ) Discrete time steps Can in general be solved analytically Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54

4 Small Example e.g. N t+1 = rn t, r > 0 N t = r t N 0 Two populations Life span: 1 year Bees 100 Bees produce 90 new ones each year r = 0.9 Wasps 100 Wasps produce 101 new ones each year r = 1.01 Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54

36 Biology How can the growthrate of anchovies be modelled? Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54

37 Biology How can the growthrate of anchovies be modelled? We could use a simple logistic equation like this: x = rx(1 x K ) (1) Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54

41 Biology But: Anchovies live in huge swarms The bigger the swarm the better the chances for survival and to find a partner So this function fits better: x = rx 2 (1 x K ) (2) , , ,5 5 7, ,5 Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54

42 Biology We add a small constant for fishes that can t be caught: x = a + rx 2 (1 x K ) (3) Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54

43 Biology We add a small constant for fishes that can t be caught: x = a + rx 2 (1 x K ) (3) Finally we subtract the amount of fish that is harvested: x = a + rx 2 (1 x ) vex (4) K Max Flöttmann and Jannis Uhlendorf () Population Dynamics June 12, / 54
