Накратко на български
Математическите модели на екологичните системи анализират как синхронното поведение на видовете в пространството влияе върху тяхното оцеляване. Разбирането на тези процеси помага за управлението на екосистемите и намаляването на риска от измиране на видове.

Цел на проекта
In the current scientific quest to conserve biodiversity and maintain life quality on our planet, it has become vital to develop a theoretical understanding of ecological systems. Currently, however , theory of biocomplexity lags behind experimental and field studies and is a research field that is still in its initial phase of scientific development. In this interdisciplinary research project I will take advantage of modern mathematical modeling techniques from nonlinear dynamics to study natural ecological systems. The major theme will be the systematic investigation of complex dynamics and spatio-temporal synchronization in theory, models, real ecosystems and laboratory experiment. The main goals are:(a) to develop and explore new realistic ecological models;(b) to complete a theoretical study on complex behavior in spatially structured ecological models;(c) to investigate the mechanisms leading to ecological synchronization;( d) to characterize complex dynamics in real ecosystem case studies; and(e) to experimentally verify the theoretical work in laboratory systems. Through this framework it will be passible to achieve a sophisticated study of the ecological consequences of complex dynamics: how different forms of collective behavior affect the risk of species extinction in spatially extended systems and the manner in which synchronization can be used as a control to manage ecosystem dynamics.
