Title: On Redfield's N:P ratio in oceanic algae:
Insights from Tilman's graphical theory of competition
　

Abstract: I will present a mathematical model aiming to understand
the stability of the Redfield ratio: the nitrogen:phosphorus
(N:P) ratio in oceanic algae. The analysis of evolutionary
stability of the model will illustrate the graphical approach
of D. Tilman which is generally used for ecological interactions
in mixed environments.

The pizza and drinks will be provided after the talk.
