Title: Examine the environmental effects on population dynamics of insects via some mathematical models and experimental data

Abstract: The population dynamics of insects are highly sensitive to its age distribution and local climate. In the first part, we will model a stage-structured insect species that undergoes diapause if faced with strong intraspecific competition among larvae. In the second part, we will discuss the impact of climate effect on vector populations from lab results.

Speaker's biography: Dr. Yanyu Xiao, Associate professor in University of Cincinnati, works in the area of Mathematical epidemiology and ecology, applied dynamical system. She gets support from NIH recently.
