摘要：Social insects such as ants, bees, wasps and termites, among the most diverse and ecologically important organisms on earth, live in intricately governed societies that rival our own in complexity and internal cohesion mathematical models are powerful tools that can provide us quantitative approaches to elucidate complicated ecological and evolutionary processes on the numerous spatial, temporal and hierarchical scales at which biological systems such as social insect colonies operate. In this talk, I will present some of our recent modeling work with closed collaborations with biologists that have been addressing important and interesting biological questions of social insect colonies such as (1) How are foraging behaviors of social ants dynamically regulated in response to environmental changes? (2) What are co-evolutionary dynamical outcomes of the interaction of social parasite and host? (3) How do colony size, social communication, and age polyethism affect the task organization in the adaptive dynamical environment?

报告人简介：康云教授现为美国亚利桑那州立大学综合科学与艺术学院的应用数学教授，现担任国际差分方程学会理事兼财政主管，曾担任美国数学学会（AMS）女性数学家联合委员会代表、美国国家科学基金会（NSF）、美国国防部（DOD）、美国农业部（USDA）、AIMS及多家国际科学基金会资助的重大项目负责人（PI）及共同项目负责人（Co-PI），累计获得超过600万美元的资助。她的研究以数学生物学和非线性动力系统为核心，应用领域涵盖生物学、生命科学与社会科学。她的工作贯穿理论与实证方法，主要聚焦于复杂适应系统的生态与进化动力学，研究结果对生物学家、生态学家和流行病学家具有重要意义。她已在数学生物学领域的顶级期刊发表论文120余篇。她近期在复杂适应系统数学建模方面的研究于2023年6月刊登在《自然》的Career版块，凸显了跨文化合作在科学进步中的价值。
