This study models ecological population spread using a spatiotemporal Markov process, enabling predictions and identification of key colonization factors. The model handles seasonal changes and accommodates missing data for irregular time interval analysis.

Area of Science:

  • Ecology
  • Mathematical Biology
  • Spatial Statistics

Background:

  • Ecological population spread is complex, influenced by spatial and temporal factors.
  • Modeling population dynamics requires accounting for seasonal changes and habitat connectivity.
  • Discrete-time models are ecologically relevant but face challenges with irregular data intervals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a spatiotemporal Markov process model for ecological populations.
  • To predict future population spread and identify critical colonization factors.
  • To create a model capable of handling missing data and irregular time intervals.

Main Methods:

  • Dividing available habitat into discrete sites.
  • Employing a parametric function of spatial variables to model colonization probability between sites.

  • Utilizing a discrete-time Markov process that accommodates seasonal variations.
  • Developing two likelihood approximation methods for model fitting and prediction.

    • Main Results:

    • The model successfully predicts population spread and identifies key factors influencing colonization.
    • Demonstrated ability to fit and predict population dynamics across irregular time intervals, including years of missing data.
    • Applied the model to ornithological survey data for the woodlark (Lullula arborea) in Thetford Forest, UK.

    Conclusions:

    • The spatiotemporal Markov process offers a robust framework for modeling ecological population spread.
    • The model's flexibility in handling irregular data enhances its applicability in real-world ecological studies.
    • This approach provides valuable insights for conservation and management strategies by identifying critical habitat and spread determinants.
