Mathematics of Kinship Demography

In social species, demographic processes are functions of cooperative and competitive interactions among individuals. In this project, we seek to understand the dynamic interplay between kinship interactions, population dynamics and evolution of life history traits by developing kin-structured population models, and applying them to multiple species including humans. This project is led led by S. Pavard from the MNHN and funded by the French National Research Agency (ANR MathKinD). Collaboration with Christophe Coste and Victor Ronget. More here.
