Gulliver seminars take place on Mondays at 11:30 AM in the F304 room, and typically last one hour including questions. The seminars are in English, and the scientific topics are mainly those studied in the laboratory.
Gulliver Seminar : Guy Bunin (Technion)
Many species dynamics in space
Natural ecosystems often harbor individuals of many species, spread out in space. We describe two very different dynamical behaviors ("phases") that can be found in such systems, depending on the interactions between the species. In one phase, population sizes undergone huge fluctuations, spanning many orders of magnitude, that persist indefinitely in time. In the other phase, every location in space assumes one of many stable states, where each state is characterized by the combination of species present in that location. These different states may then expand in space, resulting in a self-replication mechanism that competes over space. This leads to selection over ecosystem states, in analogy with Darwinian selection.

Gulliver seminar : Matthew Turner
Lundi 13 mai de 11h30 à 12h30 - C162
The audience is often heterogeneous - because of the wide range of scientific topics covered in the lab - so planning a talk for a broader audience would be preferred. The seminar is in English, and speakers are thus invited to prepare their slides in English.
The seminar starts at 11:30 AM. The speaker is asked to arrive in the lab at least 15 minutes in advance to set up their computer. The talks last typically 45 minutes, and are followed by a discussion time.
