Meeting for the CEES Core members

Late Lunch Talk by Kristina Øie Kvile from CEES

Friday seminar by Robert Serrouya from Alberta Biodiversity Monitoring Institute, Edmonton, Canada

Sex differences in vital rates and mate availability can have important effects on population- and evolutionary dynamics. These effects and how they vary depending on mating strategies can be explored with extensions to traditional matrix models.

MSc Cassandra Trier at the Department of Biosciences will be defending the thesis The Genomics of Hybrid Speciation for the degree of PhD.

AQUA/CEES Extra seminar by Clint Muhlfeld from U.S. Geological Survey and University of Montana

By Folmer Bokma from Umeå University, Sweden 

Integral projection models (IPMs) are population models structured by continuous traits such as body size, and have risen in popularity over the last decade. While most perturbation analyses developed for matrix models can be applied, additional considerations are necessary when working with IPMs.
