Anton Wakolbinger

im Hörsaal A027 über das Thema

Large populations over many generations:
from Wright and Fisher to experimental evolution

Zusammenfassung: The mathematical modelling of biological evolution has become a challenge as well as a source of inspiration for probability theory ever since the pioneering work of Wright, Fisher and Haldane in the first half of the past century. For instance, branching processes and dynamical laws of large numbers allow to model and analyze the effects and the interplay of evolutionary forces like mutation, selection and random reproduction over various time scales. We illustrate this along a picture-book version of biological evolution provided by the famous Long Term Evolution Experiment of Lenski. The talk is based on joint work with A. Gonzáles Casanova, N. Kurt, L. Yuan, E. Baake and S. Probst.
Alle Interessierten sind hiermit herzlich eingeladen. Eine halbe Stunde vor dem Vortrag gibt es Kaffee und Tee im Sozialraum (Raum 448) im 4. Stock.
Treffpunkt zum Abendessen um 18.00 Uhr wird noch bekannt gegeben.
