1 Chances are good Modeling stochastic forces in ecology Ecologists have a love-hate relationship with mathematical models The current popularity in population ecology of models so abstract that it is difficult to see how a testable hypothesis might be deduced from them is a more serious matter. How much weight and epistemological status do the authors and supporters of such models attach to the conclusions that might be drawn from them? Does the popularity of such models mark the first step toward Scholasticism? Andrewartha and Birch (1954) Part of the problem was that mathematical models in ecology were deterministic, consisting of differential equations, difference equations, etc. Ecological data, by contrast, typically revealed wild fluctuations (see Figures):
2 Solid circles: female grizzly bears with cubs, unduplicated sightings, Open circles: one-step expected values of fitted stochastic Ricker model.
3 The claim (May 1974) that such wild fluctuations might in fact be deterministic and explained with some low-dimensional mathematical model (if only we knew the form of the model) was the ultimate provocation. (In the '70s, in practically the same breath, the mathematical ecologists claimed that dynamic models, linearized around equilbrium, explained population abundance patterns in ecological communities.) What were ecologists to make of mathematical models? Were these differential equations in their textbooks intended to be taken seriously as scientific hypotheses? In all of the biomathematics literature, was there a single mathematical model that stuck as a succesful explanation of a real system?
4 Stochasticity population processes are fundamentally births, deaths, migrations stochasticity is the random variability in such processes random : unexplained, high-dimensional variability that is conveniently modeled by probability distributions
5 Importance of stochasticity noise is pervasive in ecological data, and satisfactory explanations (ecological theory) must accomodate such variability connecting deterministic models with data requires explicit modeling of stochastic forces (departures of data from model) deterministic concepts, such as point equilibria, cycles, and chaos must be rethought in stochastic contexts accurate modeling and estimation of stochastic forces crucial to species preservation efforts in conservation biology

23 Advantages of diffusion processes: Many closed formulas for statistical properties of diffusion processes have been derived Many other stochastic processes can be approximated by diffusion processes
24 Stationary distributions In some stochastic models, the transition distribution converges to a stationary distribution (independent of time and initial condition) :8ß a > 8! bp:8 a b as >p_ In some other stochastic models, such as in models where extinction is possible, the transition distribution can become quasistationary for a long time In diffusion processes, if a stationary distribution exists, it is given by G 78 a a a b :8 a b œ exp 2'.8
