Abstract: 报告一: Intraguild predation (IGP) is a combination of competition and predation which is the most basic system in food webs that contains three species where two species that are involved in a predator/prey relationship are also competing for a shared resource or prey. We formulate three intraguild predation (IGP: resource, IG prey and IG predator) models: 1. The first model has Allee effects in resource and specialist IG predator, which has Holling-Type I functional response among resource, IG prey and IG predator; 2. The second model has generalist IG predator while the third one has specialist IG Predator, where both models have Holling-Type I functional response between resource-IG prey and resource-IG predator; Holling-Type III functional response between IG prey and IG predator. By comparing the dynamics of these three models, we are able to investigate the following ecological questions: i) How do Allee effects in resource affect the dynamics of IGP models? ii) How does generalist vs. specialist IG predator affect species persistence and extinction of IGP models? iii) How does different functional response between IG prey and IG predator affect the dynamic patterns of IGP models?dator
报告二：The Axelrod model is a spatial stochastic model for the dynamics of cultures which includes two important social factors: social influence, the tendency of individuals to become more similar when they interact, and homophily, the tendency of individuals to interact more frequently with individuals who are more similar. Individuals are located on the vertex set of a graph and are characterized by a set of cultural features. Pairs of neighbors interact at a rate proportional to the number of features they have in common, which models homophily, while as the result of the interaction the two neighbors have one more cultural feature in common, which models social influence. This stochastic process has been extensively studied during the past 15 years based on numerical simulations. In contrast, this talk gives the first rigorous fluctuation and fixation results for the one-dimensional system that sometimes confirm and sometimes contradict conjectures formulated by statistical physicists and social scientists.
