Project A09
Dormant populations in heterogeneous random environments

Project description

We study random spatio-temporal population models in heterogeneous environments with “dormancy”, an evolutionary force enabling individuals to enter and exit a protective state. Our main aim is to understand situations where dormancy is a viable survival strategy, focusing on long-time asymptotics of population size, survival, and coexistence of genetic types. A key goal is to describe the large-time asymptotics of continuum models, especially compared to their non-dormant counterparts.
