​Population model where the population is summarized in four age groups (children, parents, older people, old people). Used as a base population model for dealing with issues such as employment, care for the elderly, pensions dynamics, etc.

A collaborative class project with each participant creating an animal/plant sub-model​ to explore the greater population/community dynamics of the Yellowstone ecosystem. Changes to original: removal of non-connected variables to simplify view for middle school students. 

This simulation examines carbon stocks and flows as a function of population.

A quick population rate model to help get acquainted to modular designs.

Show relation of birth and death rate over time, creating the elements of the demographic transition. This one is for Australia. You can clone this insight for other nations, just plug in the new crude birth and death rates and find the starting population in 1960.

This is a basic model for use with our lab section.  The full BIDE options.

A simple simulation used to observe the California Yellowtail population in San Diego

• Between 1999 and 2006 Koala population had dropped 26% in Queensland. 
• By 2008 it was estimated there were around 2300 Koalas with more than a 50% population loss in less than 3 years. 
• Main threats for Koala survival are a loss of habitat, vehicular trauma, dog attacks, urbanisation, disease and climate change.

The Logistic Map is a polynomial mapping (equivalently, recurrence relation) of degree 2, often cited as an archetypal example of how complex, chaotic behaviour can arise from very simple non-linear dynamical equations. The map was popularized in a seminal 1976 paper by the biologist Robert May, in part as a discrete-time demographic model analogous to the logistic equation first created by Pierre François Verhulst. 

Mathematically, the logistic map is written

where:

 is a number between zero and one, and represents the ratio of existing population to the maximum possible population at year n, and hence x0 represents the initial ratio of population to max. population (at year 0)r is a positive number, and represents a combined rate for reproduction and starvation. To generate a bifurcation diagram, set 'r base' to 2 and 'r ramp' to 1
To demonstrate sensitivity to initial conditions, try two runs with 'r base' set to 3 and 'Initial X' of 0.5 and 0.501, then look at first ~20 time steps
