Survival thresholds and mortality rates in adaptive dynamics: conciliating deterministic and stochastic simulations.

Abstract excerpt

Deterministic population models for adaptive dynamics are derived mathematically from individual-centred stochastic models in the limit of large populations. However, it is common that numerical simulations of both models fit poorly and give rather different behaviours in terms of evolution speeds and branching patterns. Stochastic simulations involve extinction phenomenon operating through demographic...
