During Michaelmas Term, OxTalks will be moving to a new platform (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
For now, continue using the current page and event submission process (freeze period dates to be advised).
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This talk is a quick introduction to Lookdown Processes and how they can be used (in particular with reference to population models). Lookdown models can be a very useful tool when analysing population models and they provide an interesting and different way of viewing biological problems. I will be basing this talk mainly on the paper Kurtz Rodriguez 2011 which provides a good introduction to the Lookdown peocesses and some motivating examples. Then, if time permits, I will discuss the main difficulties involved when using these processes and how these Lookdown processes can be used when considering a changing environment and the benefits of such a technique.
