Congratulations to recent Carleton grads Mika Cooney, Ben Hafner, Shelby Johnson and Sean Lee for the publication of their comps paper in the Rose-Hulman Undergraduate Mathematics Journal. Their comps supervisor was Professor Kate Meyer.

The spatially implicit Tilman-Levins ODE model helps to explain why so many plant species can coexist in grassland communities. This now-classic modeling framework assumes a trade-off between colonization and competition traits and predicts that habitat destruction can lead to long transient decline...
