Join us for this webinar by Jon Pitchford (York) as part of the Mathematics in the Life Sciences Series.
Abstract: Some brilliant work has explored the structure and function of complex ecosystems using large systems of ordinary differential equations. However, sometimes these models may overlook some of the very properties that make these systems biologically interesting. Here I will try to dissect some of the complexities of example systems, including plankton communities and human microbiota, and ask how they can be usefully represented by models of this type.
