A first approach to individual-based modeling of the bacterial conjugation dynamics
This work presents a spatially explicit individual-based model of bacterial conjugation using use a discrete representation of time and space. The space is defined by a discrete grid where agents are place and evolve through their local interactions. Each agent is described by a state vector …

Individual-based modeling of white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) movements and epizootiology
… and predicting effects on host populations. Individual-based modeling (IBM) has become more commonplace in ecology as a tool to link individual behavior to population dynamics and community interactions, especially for gauging the effects of management actions. Spatially explicit IBMs are …

Investigating mechanisms maintaining plant species diversity in fire prone Mediterranean-type vegetation using spatially-explicit simulation models
… is spatially-explicit, stochastic, rule- and individual-based. It is parameterised on data of population dynamics collected over 18 years in the Mediterranean-type shrublands of Eneabba, Western Australia. From 156 woody species of the area seven plant traits have been identified to be …

Linking individual-based models and dynamic energy budget theory : lessons for ecology and ecotoxicology
… of ecological risk assessment of chemicals, individual-based population models hold great potential to increase the ecological realism of current regulatory risk assessment procedures. However, developing and parameterizing such models is time-consuming and often ad hoc. Using standardized, …

Adaptation in a Changing World: Evolutionary mechanisms of salt tolerance in a coastal amphibian
… survived to metamorphosis. Chapter 3 used individual-based modeling to explore how density dependence and selection interact to affect evolution in complex life cycle organisms. Density dependence increased genetic variation across populations by reducing population size, and evolutionary …

Development of Person-Person Network and Interacting PTTS in EpiSimdemics
… spread itself. As a result, there is a need for modeling the spread of these infectious phenomena that lead to changes in behavior. Their propagation among population primarily depends on the social contact network. The nature of social contagion spread is very similar to the spread of any …

Development and Application of a Spatially-explicit Model for Estimating Growth of Age-0 Pallid Sturgeon in the Missouri River
… and prey density effects. Lastly, I used an individual-based modeling approach to estimate the influence of temperature, velocity, and prey abundance on age-0 Pallid Sturgeon growth. To do so, empirical data from three sites of the Missouri River were used to generate growth outputs (weight …

Modeling gap dynamics, succession, and disturbance regimes of mangrove forests
Despite their important ecosystem benefits for terrestrial and marine flora and fauna and the human livelihood mangrove forests suffer a high loss rate mainly due to human activity. Aside from these impacts, natural forest disturbances exist more commonly in mangroves compared to other forests as a …

A community modeling approach to understanding the ecology of Lyme disease
… have been limited to determining the roles that individual wildlife hosts play in the dispersal, transmission, and maintenance of B. burgdorferi and I. scapularis populations. In my research, I use individual-based models to depict the complex interactions of this multi-host disease system. …
