Random Models in Ecology and Evolution
This book defines and develops probabilistic tools for the modeling of populations in order to describe the dynamics of biological quantities such as population size, allele proportion in a population and individual location. From discrete Markovian models (random walks, Galton-Watson processes), it gradually introduces the stochastic calculus and the stochastic differential equations, as well as the jump Markov processes, such as the branching processes in continuous time and the birth and death processes. It also discusses the discrete and continuous processes of genetic evolution, genealogies and the Wright-Fisher processes and coalescent. The book systematically details the computation of quantities of interest to biologists and provides a number of exercises. The last chapter shows the use of probabilistic tools for real-world biological problems, and discusses recent research in detail.
