Learn about the foundational principles of ecological modeling in this lecture from the ICTP-ICTS Winter School on Quantitative Systems Biology. Explore the Generalized Lotka-Volterra Model, a mathematical framework for understanding interactions between multiple populations in ecosystems. Delve into theoretical ecology concepts that help explain how species interact, compete, and coexist in complex biological networks. Examine mathematical approaches to modeling population dynamics, stability analysis, and the factors that influence ecosystem behavior. Part of a comprehensive winter school program that combines theoretical ecology, complex systems theory, and statistical physics to investigate biodiversity and ecosystem stability, this lecture establishes core concepts for understanding multi-species interactions and their implications for ecological stability and resilience.
