Stochastic Population Dynamics

Explores the interactions within ecosystems and the scientific strategies used to protect biological diversity. Stochastic Population Dynamics turns that idea into something you can manipulate directly and watch respond.

Explores the interactions within ecosystems and the scientific strategies used to protect biological diversity. It focuses on Ecology, Biodiversity, Conservation, Ecosystem Dynamics from the “Ecology and Conservation Biology” section.

The “Growth Rate (r) 0.15”, “Carrying Capacity (K) 500”, “Stochasticity (σ) 0.05” sliders change the key inputs; the “Reset Simulation”, “Trigger Disaster (-50%)” buttons run actions or reset the demo. Every change updates the visualization in real time, so you can see exactly how each variable affects the outcome.

Environmental Science (Ha and Schleiger) is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary course that examines the complex interactions between the living and non-living components of our planet. Using the scientific method as a f… This demo is the interactive piece for the “Ecology and Conservation Biology” section.

You'll build intuition for Ecology, Biodiversity, Conservation, Ecosystem Dynamics — and, crucially, see how they behave when you change the inputs, which is hard to get from a textbook or lecture on Environmental Science (Ha and Schleiger) alone.
