Sido Mylius

Probably, hopefully, you have arrived here because you are interested in some of the things that I like to do, in particular scientific research and sea kayaking. For these and other favourite subjects, e.g. cycling and speedskating, you can contact me at the following address:

Scientific Research

Interests

Game dynamics and The Battle of the Sexes
ESS's, evolutionarily stable life-histories, optimization, and density dependence
Evolutionary invasion and non-equilibrium population dynamics
Population dynamics and evolution in physiologically structured population models
Size-based interactions in fish populations
Omnivory and intraguild predation in food webs
Structured populations, dispersal and local adaptation

Cartoon: F and S know what it's all about in science (`Very impressive, dear colleague. But does it also work in theory?')
