Talk Outline 5 Population Models on Range Shifts under: Constant-speed climate change Accelerated climate change

Critical Speed “c*” Viability of a population Ability to establish itself at a low density Instability of the trivial equilibrium Dominant eigenvalue of an integral operator exceeding 1 14
Eigenvalue Problem Net reproductive rate Analytic method for “separable” kernels Numerical method “Nystrom’s method” Delves and Wash 1974
Larger Net Reproductive Rate Helps 16 Zhou and Kot 2011 Theoretical Ecology

Climatically Suitable Habitat Habitat shifts Heterogeneous Habitat Suitability 22 Habitat quality function Latore et al. 1999
Consider linearized equation For normally distributed habitat quality a Gaussian dispersal kernel
and a special initial condition (Gaussian initial profile), then we have an ansatz : peak of the pulse : amplitude of the pulse Latore et al. 1999
