    Title: Threshold Dynamics of an Impulsive PDE Model with Habitat Shift Driven by Climate Change
    Abstract: Persistence or extinction of moving animal species is a fundamental question in spatial ecology. This paper focuses on the impact of habitat shift driven by climate change on the persistence and propagation of a population with birth pulse. We first present a class of impulsive reaction-diffusion models with heterogeneous nonlinear reaction in high-dimensional space and study their threshold dynamics. We provide the persistence criterion of the system in bounded domains, and prove the existence, uniqueness and global attraction of a positive steady state. Then we extend the results from bounded domains to the whole space. Our results indicate how the speed of the shifting habitat edge and impulsive reproduction (or harvesting) rate determine the persistence and extinction of the population. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

    Title: Puzzles in the Persistence of Pathogens
    Abstract: If a new pathogen causes a large epidemic then it might "burn out" before causing a second epidemic. The burnout probability can be estimated from large numbers of computationally intensive simulations, but an easily computable formula for the burnout probability has never been found. Using a conceptually simple approach, we have derived an accurate and easily computable formula for the burnout probability for the stochastic SIR epidemic model with vital dynamics (host births and deaths). With this formula, we have recently shown (https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2313708120) that the burnout probability is always smaller for diseases with longer infectious periods, but is bimodal with respect to transmissibility (the basic reproduction number). Our analysis has shown further that the persistence of typical human infectious diseases cannot be explained by births of new susceptibles alone. However, in current work applying our analytical approach to models that include more biological details, we are able to make precise comments on the roles of other mechanisms, substantially improving our understanding of disease persistence. Joint work with Ben Bolker, Jonathan Dushoff, and David Earn (McMaster University).
