Géza Meszéna (Eötvös University): Coexistence, niche, adaptation and all that…

Abstract:
Why are there so many animals? According an old idea, it is because there are so many different possibilities for life to adapt to. I’ll argue that it is still true, and truer than the suggested alternatives. The challenge is to establish the precise mathematical treatment at this level of generality without losing the reach to the phenomenal complexity of the ecosystems.
