OxTalks is Changing
On 28th November OxTalks will move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events' (full details are available on the Staff Gateway).
There will be an OxTalks freeze beginning on Friday 14th November. This means you will need to publish any of your known events to OxTalks by then as there will be no facility to publish or edit events in that fortnight. During the freeze, all events will be migrated to the new Oxford Events site. It will still be possible to view events on OxTalks during this time.
If you have any questions, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Introduction to Lookdown Processes
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.
