Abstract
Understanding complex adaptive systems requires a marriage of population dynamics with adaptive dynamics. Adaptation in living systems cannot be understood without accounting for the rich embedding of populations. Conversely, predicting the future of populations, especially when exposed to strong anthropogenic impacts, requires accounting for the prospect of rapid adaptation. This presentation provides an integrative overview of modeling approaches linking ecological and evolutionary dynamics, ranging from evolutionary games, adaptive dynamics, and evolutionary reaction-diffusion systems to agent-based models tackling the complexities arising from the genetic, spatial, and demographic structure of real-world systems.
Climate change means land use will need to change to keep up with global food demand, say scientists 在氣候變遷的影響之下，如果沒有顯著的技術進步，全球三大糧食作物產區產量可能下降，將迫使生產轉移到其他區域。 【閱讀全文】
