Description

Individual-based modelling has applications in biology ranging from the molecular and cellular level up to the scale of population and movement ecology, and is typically implemented with stochastic processes. This diversity of applications is underpinned by a common toolbox of analytical techniques for studying mean behaviour, fluctuations and rare events related to particle trajectories, interactions and genealogies. In this session, we explore and share insights revealed by these techniques, with a view towards broadening their efficacy and scope in existing and novel areas of application.
