Description: The unique size reduction and restitution cycle of diatoms requires special
attention in modeling their population dynamics. Matrix models based on distinct
size classes are generally necessary to fully address periodic changes in
cell size distribution and understand infra-annual algae blooms. Here, different
approaches for such size-resolved models are compared, with their conclusions
about oscillatory behavior in diatom populations. Particularly, the coupling of
model parameters with environmental signals that may act as zeitgebers are
discussed. |
