OCEA 265Marine Population Dynamics

Examines classic ecological models of population dynamics and growth with case studies from the marine environment. Topics include exponential and logistic growth, density dependence, age and stage structure, discrete vs. continuous time, metapopulation models, coexistence, and the dynamics of interacting populations. Case studies are drawn from biological oceanography, fisheries stock assessments, endangered species management, and more. This course focuses on theory and mathematical underpinnings of these dynamical models; it does not go into detail on how to fit them to data.
